Websites in subfolders clearing cache problem

Resolved Everet

I have main Website and many Websites in subfolders:

– Website/Subwebsite1
– Website/Subwebsite2
– Website/SubwebsiteN

When I give the command Purge All in any Subwebsite (1,2 … N), the cache from the main Website is also cleared.
A similar situation is when I clean the cache on the main Website – then cache in all Subwebsites (1,2…N) is also cleared.

My hosting provider claims, the only option is to put Subwebsites in subdomains, but that’s not satisfactory to me.
Other cache plugins run as independent instances and there is no such problem with them.
Is there any solution to this problem other than using subdomains?

or you have manually installed/created many subsites ?

Hi,

The structure is as follows:
– WordPressMain(main website)
– WordPressMain/WordPress1
– WordPressMain/WordPress2
…
– WordPressMain/WordPressN

WordPress1…N are in subfloders of the main website (WordPressMain). These are independent instances – not Multisite.

———–
When I am logged in as an administrator to any WordPress, I see other websites as not-cached.

According to my hosting-provider, the system treats the whole as one directory and when issuing the clear cache command, it flushes the entire cache directory and thus deletes the cache of all websites. Other plugins (eg W3 Total Cache, WP-Optimize, etc.) work only within a specific website and are independent of each other.

However, when a subwebsite has its own subdomain assigned to it, it is treated as an independent instance, although it is still in a subdirectory.

emmmm?

sorry for my bluntness , but how do you access the subsites ?

like https://domain.com/sub1 https://domain.com/sub2 https://domain.com/sub3 …etc

or

like https://sub1.domain.com https://sub2.domain.com https://sub3.domain.com while these subsites are pointed to main_webroot/sub1, main_webroot/sub2 ,main_webroot/sub3 …etc

Hi,

The problem is with the first configuration:
https://domain.com/sub1
https://domain.com/sub2
https://domain.com/sub3

In the second case (with subdomains) everything is fine, but this solution is not optimal for a number of reasons.

———-

To be clear, the problem is with a configuration like: https://domain.com/forum. No problem with https://forum.domain.com/.
“forum” is just an example of the subwebsite in subfolder.

okay , I only ask because I am trying to re-create the environment as yours and reproduce the issue

so let’s say , your main site is on / direcotry

then you create subdomain sub1.domain.com , and set path to /sub1/ and install WP there, correct ?

and what’s the site URL and home URL you set on WP setting if above is correct ?

Main website:
https://domain.com/
WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL): https://domain.com

Subwebsites:
https://domain.com/sub1
https://domain.com/sub2
https://domain.com/sub3
https://domain.com/subn
WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) adequately: https://domain.com/sub1, https://domain.com/sub2, https://domain.com/sub3

Directory structure:
domain
domain/sub1
domain/sub2
domain/sub3
domain/subn

Do not create subdomains. Simply acces to subwebsite by slash: https://domain.com/sub1

I create 4 sites

https://domain.com/ -> /home/xxx/public_html/

https://domain.com/sub1/ -> /home/xxx/public_html/sub1/

https://domain.com/sub2/ -> /home/xxx/public_html/sub2/

https://domain.com/sub3/ -> /home/xxx/public_html/sub3/

all individual and separated WP sites

but on my test , purge on main site doesn’t purge the subsites

would you please join our Slack for further investigation ?

if you’d join in , please let me know your username , or reach me by @qtwrk

Hi,

Today we contacted our hosting-provider again.
The whole problem lies with the configuration of services with our hosting-provider.
It is not possible to separate subwebsites from the parent website (it is possible if we use subdomains only). So you can close this thread, because nothing can be done about it 🙁

Best regards
Everet
