Moved multisite, wp-login goes to old dashboard

  • I moved a multisite from website.com to subdomain.website.com
    The issue I have is that subdomain.website.com/wp-login.php goes to website.com/wp-admin not subdomain.website.com/wp-admin

    I cant get to my subdomain dashboard.

    To the best of my knowledge I have followed all the steps in the codex about moving multisites.

    In my wp-config file I added the
    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://subdomain.website.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://subdomain.website.com’);

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Is your multisite subdirectories? If it’s subdomains, I’m not sure you can move it to a subdomain itself…

    And did you update the database as well as wp-config? You may just have a migration issue…

    I was able to fix it using a search and replace tool
    https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

    I updated all the MySQL tables manually but something was still missing.

    Using the tool above, I searched and replaced //mywebsite.com to //subdomain.mywebsite.com on ALL the wp_options tables. I am not sure which column change fixed it. I had already changed all the home url and site url for each site. I updated the wp_blogs, wp_site, and wp_sitemeta already.

    I would be nice to know what table/column holds to url to connect wp_login to the wp_admin screen.

    I don’t know that table, sorry.

    Hmm. So it sounds like it DOES work to have a network installed on a subdomain. Interesting. Did you set it up as a subdirectory install?
