Subdomains work, but cannot login to dashboard

  • WP config file set up properly, Wildcard set on dns, can create new subdomain sites — everything appears to work. The only issue, I can’t seem to login in to the subdomain site dashboards. It continues to give me a cookie error, even though cookies are good to go. I’ve tried this on multiple browsers. I can login to the main site’s dashboard/network dashboard and add new sites just fine. Also, the newly created subdomain sites appear to be functioning on the front-end.

    I tried commenting out the cookie check on login.php and that allowed me to login, but instead of arriving at the dashboard was met with a blank screen.

    Structure of main site is site.com/blog. Additional sites are blog2.site.com, blog3.site.com, etc…

    Pulling my hair out. Any ideas?

    So did you install the main site on a subdirectory? domain.com/blog? And then installed a subdomain type of network? I’m not sure that will work.

    I’m pretty sure that to use a subdomain type network, you need to install the multisite network in the root of your webpath (ie., your public_html OR the directory for domain.com).
