I have a few sub-directory multisites going and haven't come across this one before:
A testing sub-directory multisite is behaving a little strangely.
Problem: creating links on the main site to a sub-directory site - either in a menu or in the content - load very slowly.
Using a browser developer console, and browsing such a link in the main site to the child site "Prof-smith" I see the following:
1) Path: prof-smith, Method: GET, Status: 301, Initiator: Other, Time: 3s
..followed by ....
2) Path: /prof-smith/ Method: GET, Status: 200, Initiator: http://www.etc , Time: 1s
and the page loads normally
I have tried disabling all plugins, and switching the theme on the main site to 2011 with no luck :(
The htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]Re - saving the permalink structure didn't seem to help either
*update* If I create the link with a trailing slash - and use a fully qualified address then the page loads normally.
What am I doing wrong?!
