    Hi there, I have a multisite running and I am trying to add a new site. After adding a new site, I am unable to access the site. Going to the url will bring up error establishing a database connection. Also, I checked the database and there were no new tables created for the new site. I only see the new site added as a row to the wp_blogs table. Any ideas?

    Running WordPress 4.8.3, unfortunately cannot update to latest version at the momement

    Much appreciated
    Eric

    I’d suspect there is an important part of the WordPress core missing.

    You might try finding a copy of whatever version you have and manually reinstalling that overtop of what you have. Do a good backup before you do anything else if you don’t already have a good, recent backup.

    I’m concerned that multisite won’t ever work there now that something has misfired.

    I’m curious as to why you can’t upgrade.

    I’d want to be running the latest – greatest myself… but then again I’m building a new multisite this week… I might find out 5.1 won’t work for me or won’t run a mission-critical plugin under multisite. You never know. I haven’t built a multisite on 5.1 before.

    If you need to, reinstall upgrade to 5.1 and run the WP-Downgrade plugin to get back to your prefered version but I’ve never used WP-Downgrade on a networked (multisite) site.
