Hi,

That did the trick! The pretty permalinks work great now. Thanks so much.

For my own reference, would you mind explaining what that line in the wp-config file was doing so as to block the permalinks?

Thanks. I’m trying to learn…

Hello,

Thank you both for the response.

Calvin – Can you please clarify where I can find the wp-config.php file? I’ve been accessing the back files through Filezilla, but am not clear in which subfolder to find this particular file.

The multi-site works fine as is (both sites are functional), so long as I use the default permalinks.

Mika –
The code currently in my htaccess file is:

# Use PHP5.4 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php

# 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

This is the code I used when moving into multi-site. The migration to multi-site went well. However, whenever I try to choose a different permalink option (as I had on my original site, before moving into a multi-site), the individual pages don’t work. Only the “ugly” permalinks are working.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Hi Calvin,
Thanks so much for your response. I had followed that tutorial to set up the network and replaced the entire code in the .htaccess file. Once that was fully set up, the pretty permalinks stopped working.
Any ideas what to do now to get them back?
Thanks so much.

Hello,
After many hours and searching I have found the problem. In the creation of the subdomain on Bluehost, the Document Root field needs to be left blank.
I can now access the dashboard of all of my sites without a problem.
Thanks again for the help.

Hello Mika,
Thank you so much for the response.
The link you included to Bluehost was the exact page I used to set up the subdomain. I had followed those instructions, and the sub-domain page itself does exist. Any tips on how to get the dashboard to work?
It’s the subdirectory of test.domain.com/wp-admin that gets me the 404 Bluehost error. Do I have to set that up in Bluehost independently?
Thanks.
