Trailing slash needed to find subdirectory

What’s in your .htaccess for WordPress?

Lots of redirects. I am using wp total cache too.

Here is the standard stuff I have:

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).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

There are some other rewrites, but I am pretty sure they are not making this happen

I hate to suggest it, but turn of total cache for a test?

I can’t repro that on a fresh install.

It is indeed an issue with wp total cache. All I had to do was deactivate it from the main site and

sitename.com/word

took me to the sub site

https://www.sitename.com/word/

as desired

WP total cache was left active on the sub sites.

I’ve never used that plugin, but I’m pretty sure that these cache plugins need to be per-site activated, and not network…

I did a complete reinstall of wp total cache and determined that it was the “Object Cache” function. When I disabled it I no longer had this issue.

this was driving me nuts, thanks Ipstenu, your Half-Elf advice worked!!

Super cache is network activated when running a network.

The issue with caching plugins (and plugins in general) is if they are written in such a way as to completely ignore multisite, then you get un predictable results.

Hello, I want to know if this problem was solved or not, I mean if W3 Total Cache considered to fix it, cause yesterday I had this problem and that’s how I reached this topic. any fix except disabling object cache?

Did you network activate or per-site activate?

@ipstenu
actually, there is no network-activation option in w3 total cache, it gives error message if you clicked network activate, just main blog activation is possible, and that’s what I did. and still the trailing slash problem is present.

Just checking. You used to be able to and it screwed people up.

In your wp-config.php, what do you have for define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' ); ?

@ipstenu
Its the same as you copied:
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );

btw, i just noticed something strange, it works well sometime, and other time it doesn’t work, I think this is somehow related to cache date or something.

That is … weird. You may have installed the caching tool wrong, I have to say. You shouldn’t be getting a sometimes error like that with a correct set up, it should either always fail or never.

Do me a favor, make a NEW topic and tag it with whatever cache tool you’re using. The guys from w3tc and wpsc are usually pretty on the ball for that.
