wp-admin link suddenly stopped working

no I haven’t removed them yet, should I?

yes, remove those. Just those two for now.

okay home was just marcusasoc.net/

but site url had /wordpress. I removed it and now the links are broken again.

What does the Network Setup show now?

wp config.php says
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘marcusassoc.net’);
define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

and .htaccess says

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

Oh, go into the Settings Permalinks for the second site and resave them. That is the site you are using.

did, teh root url is still white, and the /wordpress doesn’t work either now

Okay, make sure the wp-config.php file matches and the root directory .htaccess file matches that.. And the subdirectory .htaccess file is

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

so the network settings htaccess is for the root .htaccess?

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘marcusassoc.net’);
define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 2);

For some reason, WordPress isn’t correctly showing the define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 2)

Make sure you have that set correctly and make sure the top two lines (which Network Setup isn’t showing) are there.

Yes, it should be the root .htaccess for what Network Settings is showing.

The subsite .htacess should show just as it would regularly. What that root .htaccess is doing is forcing the subdirectory rewrite to show as the root url.

I did all three and it will load the home page with images on /wordpress only. the root url is white and the links are broken

should path to current site be /wordpress?

What is showing in the Network Sites for the site you are using now when you choose edit?
