Tag pages not working in multisite

    I’m having an issue that I assume is with the .htaccess on my multisite install. Trying to access any tag page gets me a page not found. Category pages appear just fine. To see the problem, you can go to pathstoknowledge.com and hit any term in the tag cloud in the sidebar. I have no special permalink set up for tags, but take the default. I’m assuming it’s an issue with multisite and .htaccess, but don’t know for sure.

    My current .htaccess looks like this:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

    # uploaded files
    RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

    # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
    RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]
    RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) wp/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ wp/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

  • You don’t have a folder on your server called “tag” by any chance, do you? What’s strange is that your website is not serving up the WordPress 404 error page, it’s serving up your host’s generic 404 error page, leading me to believe that something on the server itself is getting in front of WordPress when you’re trying to load a tag page.

    Try changing your “Tag Base” to “tags” instead of “tag” and see if that makes a difference.

    Hmm… Well, I can’t find a folder named “tag” so far as I can tell, but I changed the tag base to “tagname”, cleared the cache (which I hadn’t done last time) and everything’s good. Perhaps there is a “tag” folder buried in there somewhere. I’m not sure I completely follow the multi-user directory structure. In any case, it works. Thanks much.
