No Network Admin on 3.1.1

    Hi everyone,

    I spent a fair bit of time scouring the forums before posting here.

    Question I have is – if the problem is with the host provider – in this case Globat – what do I need them to do? It is a shared environment, they supposedly run the Apache mod_rewrite, and use Simple Scripts for installing Word Press (which I did not use).

    The issue I’m having is the Network Admin button does not appear in the top right hand corner beside the user name (admin), nor is there any multi-site functionality. When clicking on Tools -> Network it prompts me with a warning saying a network is already running.

    Here are the common issues that I know it is NOT:
    wp-config (yes the multi-site script is in the middle)
    .htaccess is in the specified folder
    No plugins except for what come with the install
    Theme is Twenty Ten
    All tables are created in MySQL (including wp_blogs, wp_blog_versions, wp_registration_logs, wp_signups, wp_site, wp_sitemeta, wp_usermeta, wp_user)

    Thank you for your help.

    Just to clarify: you followed the directions in http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network exactly?

    This is a fresh install you are trying to enable a network on?

    Can you post your wp-config (without passwords/salts) just so we can check?

    Have you created a new site yet? I don’t think it appears until you have more than the main site.

    @sokratesagogo: the Network Admin button appears as soon as the network is properly set up. You only have one blog initially and you need to access Network Admin in order to add a second, anyway.

    wp-config:

    /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'gobicapital.ca' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );


    Edited to remove the database username and password. NEVER post passwords!

    Okay, so when you turned on the network, you JUST added in define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); and followed the directions? You’re missing a line from the MultiSite section, see.

    define( 'MULTISITE', true );

    @scotthom pl;ease clarify that you followedd the actual directions and did not simply paste that chunk in the config file, which will not work. you DO have to visit the network setup page and you DO have to go through it.

    If you’re getting the message one has been set up already, check the db for the extra tables.

    @ipstenu Sorry, the define( ‘MULTISITE’, true ) is in the wp-config file.

    @andrea_r I followed the directions and even consulted your ebook. What should I check the db tables for? The list of db tables is below.

    wp_blogs, wp_blog_versions, wp_commentmeta, wp_comments, wp_links, wp_options, wp_postmeta, wp_posts, wp_registration_log, wp_signups, wp_site, wp_sitemeta, wp_terms, wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy, wp_usermeta, wp_users

    You already have the network tables in there, that’s why you;re getting the message.

    had you created it before this?

    Sorry, the define( ‘MULTISITE’, true ) is in the wp-config file.

    Where? Make sure it’s in the same chunk as the rest of it.

    I’m sorry for the delay in responding but work has been all consuming.

    Here is the code in the wp-config file:

    /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'gobicapital.ca' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

    I have already gone through the steps of creating a network – http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network – however when I go to log back in there is no “Network Admin” in the top right corner nor the ability to manage a network of sites.

    Any help to resolve this is much appreciated.

    This post has a screenshot of what you should see.

    Also, go look in the database and see if:
    – the tables are created properly
    – you’re listed as a super admin in the wp_sitemeta table in the site_admins field. It should have your username in there.

    I definitely do not see that when logging in. I’ll check the tables now.

    This is what it says in wp_sitemeta table in the site_admins field:
    a:1:{i:0;s:5:”admin”;}

    Are you logged in as “admin”?

    Yes my login is ‘admin’.

    Can you manually type in /wp-admin/network/ and get anywhere?
