Weird issue

    I have an unusual setup where I have a bare WP installation and within it several other installs… it’s not for production and I use this for testing purposes.
    My issue is specific to one “internal” install and doesn’t appear on any of the others, also, it’s new, as in I noticed this yesterday but it was working fine as far I can remember…
    so from the main domain, I can access the admin side fine as I can access all other sub-installs and their admins. The issue is with that one install, of which the frontend I can access (and subsequent pages) but when I try the admin side, I get a page not found within the main install (site title and theming clued me in)
    I haven’t changed anything that I know of, whether in the installs or server config files, so it’s a little puzzling what’s going on. I’ve checked compares of different htaccess files without differences really… Unless security headers can affect in any way, I was testing these things though a while back…
    So nothing really explains this much since I’m no expert.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    So…multisite?

    Check your server error logs.

    @kjodle no it’s not a multisite setup
    it’s a main install with other installs in subdirectories…

    I would check your .htaccess file then. The testing you did may have affected something in there.

    Well that’s where I started but the htaccess file in the other subdirectory installations are similarly written…
    there would be no reason why the other installs would work but not this one…
    I have a feeling it’s something with the main install “thinking” the subdirectory URL is its own… not sure if this makes much sense
    example to try to describe it
    domain.com/wp-admin >>> admin page of root install
    domain.com/install1/wp-admin >>> page not found through root install
    domain.com/install2/wp-admin >>> loads admin of install2

    Check the permissions of that admin page in that one install. Are they the same as all the other admin pages?

    @kjodle: nevermind man,
    thanks for your help, I realized it was my stupidity! I misplaced an htaccess file in the wp-admin directory of the problematic install… removed it and things went back to normal..Doh!

    You’re welcome. Glad you got it sorted!
