Reachability subfolder wordpress installation

    Current situation:
    – WordPress install in sub-domain/sub-folder
    – WordPress multisite domain in root

    Problem:
    – Since I configured the wildcard dns record, I can’t reach my sub-folder WordPress installation. Not through the sub-domain url neither through the sub-folder url.

    I always get redirected to the root domain with the message: “Registration has been disabled.”.

    Solution:
    How do I have to configure the .htaccess files or sub-folder wordpress installation, so my sub-folder installation is still reachable and does not redirect to the root multisite installation?

    Thanks in advance!

    WordPress install in sub-domain/sub-folder

    Which is it? Subdomain is foo.domain.com, subfolder is domain.com/foo

    It is installed in a subfolder, but has a subdomain linked to it.
    So the install folder is domain.com/foo, but the wordpress home url is foo.domain.com

    I… am now more confused

    – WordPress install in sub-domain/sub-folder
    – WordPress multisite domain in root

    Are these separate sites?

    Yes these are seperate installs and sites.

    The subfolder wordpress install was present first.
    Afterwards I installed a multisite wordpress in the root folder and activated the wildcard dns.

    When a now try to reach my subfolder wordpress website, I always get redirected to my root wordpress install.

    The subfolder wordpress install was present first.

    So you have domain.com/ and this is multisite.

    And you also have subsite.domain.com which is not Multisite?

    Afterwards I installed a multisite wordpress in the root folder and activated the wildcard dns.

    Wildcard subdomain in your DNS?

    Correct.
    domain.com is multisite
    subsite.domain.com is regular WordPress install

    Afterwards I installed a multisite wordpress in the root folder and activated the wildcard dns.

    Wildcard DNS record is configured for the root multisite WordPress install.

    Okay… So the best I can guess with this information is that you set up the subdomains incorrectly, and your server can’t tell that separate.domain.com is NOT to be handled by the wildcard subdomain DNS setting you put in for *.domain.com

    This is a ‘Talk to your webhost …’ question, since they’ll be able to fix that for you.
