Links In Header & wp-admin for "sub-sites"

    I have been testing this plugin, and I prefer it over the wp-multi-networks plugin, but I’m having an issue somewhere with the way that links are being re-written.

    My test environment is a multi-site, sub-directory site.

    What I am trying to accomplish is…

    / (main wp network)
    – site_1
    – subnetworks

    /subnetwork-a/
    – site_a1 (/subnetwork/site_a1/)
    – site_a2 (/subnetwork/site_a2/)

    Using the plugin, /subnetwork/site_a1/, pulls content, but the internal links (aka stylesheets, js, etc) don’t work.

    Additionally, I get the “The page isn’t redirecting properly” from Firefox when trying to access the subsite/blog admin page for site. I have 2x checked my htaccess, and commented out the recommended lines in my wp-config file.

    As a final note, I used the console editor in Firefox for the subsite and tested the link structure of the stylesheets.

    It was “http://w.d.c/mysubnetwork/mysite/wp-content/…”(you know the drill)

    I changed it to “http://w.d.c/mysubnetwork/wp-content/…” and the stylesheet(s) loaded just fine.

    What Gives?

    Thanks,

    TT

    Hi @atgmacct –

    Multiple layers of subdirectories are tough. You will probably need extra entries in your .htaccess file to handle requests to the sub-sub-sites.

    Thank you so much for replying.

    As this has overwhelmed me since before Sept, and I still have not found a solution, I’m going to keep pushing.

    Either I’m misunderstanding the usefulness of the plugin, or I’m understanding the true limitations of WP.

    I want to do this:

    myfruitshop.com/ -home of multi-site network (network1)
    myfruitshop.com/contact -static page
    myfruitshop.com/fruits -network2
    myfruitshop.com/fruits/apples -network2 site
    myfruitshop.com/fruits/pears -network2 site
    myfruitshop.com/vegs/ -network3
    myfruitshop.com/vegs/kale -network3 site
    myfruitshop.com/eatmeat -network1 site

    Does that make sense?

    I have tried messing around with the htaccess file, the database, etc…all in a testing environment, but no go. It seems like it should be easier than that.

    The only thing that works is when I use the web inspector and manually change the links the JS and Theme links
    from
    http://www.myfruitshop.com/fruits/apples/wp-content/
    to
    http://www.myfruitshop.com/fruits/wp-content/

    then everything works (within the console).

    Thank you again for taking the time to respond. I was under the impression that this plugin was designed to manage this type of implementation from a single UI. If I have misunderstood, please let me know and I will bother you no more.

    TT
