subfolder Multisites are redirecting to the top level install

  • I’ve setup my WP install as a network site. I added some sub-sites as sub folders (not sub domains) but when I browse to them, they re-direct to the top level. UNLESS, I browse to them again immediately following the error. Then they seem to go thru. Or if the top level page has already loaded and I add the subfolder, it works fine. But it won’t go directly to any of them. Any ideas?
    cebronix.com/jcc
    cebronix.com/sm
    & cebronix.com/fwm all redirect to the top level, cebronix.com. I’ve hit up my host about it but they “can’t duplicate the issue”, suggesting it’s a caching issue but I’ve tried on multiple computers, all with the same result.

    What’s in your .htaccess file?

    What plugins are you using?

    And since you brought it up… what browser?

    (And yes, I can reproduce your error)

    htaccess is just the standard stuff:

    # BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

    Plugins: Advanced Custom Fields, Akismet, Comic Easel, ComicPress Manager, Lightbox 2, Link Manager, NextGEN Gallery, NextGEN Gallery Sidebar Widget, Pricing table, Revolution Slider, WordPress Importer, WPBakery Visual Composer

    And I’ve tried it on every major browser across PC and Mac. Firefox, IE, Safari & Chrome.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Are there any errors in the server log?

    Not that I can find.

    I’ve honestly never seen that before…

    Oh.

    https://www.cebronix.com/sm vs https://cebronix.com/sm maybe?

    That doesn’t seem to be it. I tried both ways and they both forward to the top level. Unless I try them consecutively. Then it’s loaded cebronix.com which means whatever I load next works fine.

    Thanks for the ideas but I think I’m throwing in the towel and just setting them back up as multiple installs for now. Maybe someday I’ll try it again when I don’t immediately need the sites live.
