    WordPress: 4.2.2 Multisite

    This is a new WP install, with no additional plugins or themes except those that come with WP.

    I installed WP, set permalinks, followed all the general instructions on “Create a Network” in preparation. Do the conversion, choosing subdirectories, and replace my .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    
    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ - [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    … and my wp-config.php:

    define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
    define('MULTISITE', true);
    define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'subdomain.main-domain.org');
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
    define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

    Everything is fine on the main https://subdomain.main-domain.org/ site, but when I create a second blog, under…

    https://subdomain.main-domain.org/subsite/

    … the admin area at /subsite/wp-admin has no styles. The frontend loads fine. It does this on every new subsite I create.

    I’ve googled around, tried adding this in wp-config:

    define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
    define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
    define('COOKIEPATH', '');
    define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '');

    No change.

    Could it be because there is another WordPress install at https://main-domain.org/ ?

    So, in actuality, there are two completely separate WordPress installs:
    /htdocs/site/ = https://main-domain.org/ (a WordPress single site, with its htaccess and index.php in /htdocs/ so that https://main-domain.org/ is the site address instead of https://main-domain.org/site/)
    /htdocs/subdomain/ = https://subdomain.main-domain.org/ (a WordPress Multisite)

    Any assistance? Thanks.

    Still having this issue.

    Deleted all files in the WordPress root except wp-config.php, also deleted all of wp-admin and wp-includes, and re-uploaded them from a clean WP install (actually zipped it up and uploaded through the NetSol file manager and unzipped on the server!).

    Went and bought an el cheap 99cent domain from 1and1 to use as the main domain so it’s no longer hosted in a subdomain, but that didn’t help. Followed the steps on Moving WordPress Multisite on the Codex and all is well with that, but, still the freezing on multisite subsites. The error I get in the dev console in Chrome is:

    GET https://mynewdomain.com/tourism/wp-admin/themes.php net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
    (that path is just an example, it happens all over the admin area)
    I can usually access things for a minute or two before freezing, and I do get styles now (mostly), but, it freezes the browser.

    – Tried deactivating all plugins, including renaming the plugins folder entirely
    – Tried reverting to Twentyfifteen theme
