Multisite Installation (No Sub-Directories Option)

  • Hello,

    I have searched this site along with just googling but have not come across a workable answer.

    I have had my hosting company re-install the latest version of WordPress twice but I get to the same problem. I have done the following:

    Open up wp-config.php and add this line above where it says /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:

    define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

    I have saved the file, and logged back into my site where I then see that the Network Setup menu has been added. I select it, but I am not provided with the option of choosing “subdirectories”…the claim is that my install is over a month old. This is not accurate. This has happened twice.

    Has anyone solved this issue? Is there some setting that the hosting company needs to enable to provide me the option to choose “sub-directories”? I would really appreciate anyone’s assistance on this. Thank you!

    Go ahead and set it up as SubDomains but DO NOT make any subsites. Once you have the network setup, go in and change define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true ); to define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );

    As for WHY it’s happening, it’s detecting the date of your DB and files probably. If your host is copying a template DB, that could cause it.

    the claim is that my install is over a month old. This is not accurate. This has happened twice.

    It checks this by looking at your hello world post, and also looking at where you have it installed.

    Wow. Thank you for the incredibly quick responses! I will follow up on my progress/clarifications as soon as the hosting company gives me the go-ahead.
