That worked, thank you! I will see if I can do this for the geo my wp queries too.

Same problem here. Recent updates to the instagram website might be part of the cause

Thanks Patrick I think that makes sense as the best way to do it since I’m using CloudFlares SSL already and its just one page rule to set

Yes please excuse my inability to realize that its a simple redirect and should be done very similar in nginx. I don’t know how simple redirects work actually, because I’m trying to add a simple one to set https for all pages and now I’m getting a redirect loop ??

I added this to the server section

server {
return 301 https://www.mydomain.com$request_uri;
}

I put this into my own plugin, but I guess it could be used in the functions.php of your active theme , too. Just wanted mine to be part of the site regardless of what the active theme is.

function yourwebsiteprefix_remove_users_from_mainblog() {
	/*
	First establish the current user ID and the value of constant BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE
	*/
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	$blog_id = BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE;

	//we dont want super admins
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {

		//check to see if the current user is a member of the Main blog.
		if ( is_user_member_of_blog( $user_id, $blog_id ) ) {

			//Remove them from the main blog
			remove_user_from_blog( $user_id, $blog_id );

			// Redirect user to their dashboard
			wp_redirect( admin_url() );
		}
	}
}
add_action('wpmu_new_blog', 'yourwebsiteprefix_remove_users_from_mainblog');

Thanks for clarifying growsocial. It’s taken a minute but I ended up writing a script that solves the problem . I’ll post it in a moment here.

Thanks Mika,
Since I am using nginx I cannot use an .htaccess rule I believe.

Patrick, here is the nginx configuration:

Thank you!

Since this is a production site, I had to turn off SSL and can’t provide a link

Note: It looks like ALL subdomain sites stop working and refuse to load after turning on force_ssl_admin .

Ok thank you!

keesiemeijer, Thank you for posting such helpful replies.

I am so far successful with my rewrite, but I am having a problem checking if I am on the normal author page or the Author Settings page.

I’m using this snippet in my author.php file:

<?php
$settingspage = get_query_var('settings');
if($settingspage == 'settings' ) {
	echo "show author settings here";
} else {
echo "show normal author archive page here";
}
?>

Even when I’m on the /author-name/settings page it doesn’t echo “show author settings here” like it should. Wondering if you have had similar problems or know of solution. Thank you
