    Glad to see I’m not the only one trying!
    Have you figured it out alechang?

    I’m not done with my config yet, but I’m hoping one of the tips gleaned from Mika/Ipstenu will do the trick for me…

    I’ll post an update soon.

    Well, assuming you start out with a subdomain MS install, then for me it was as simple as changing wp-config to: define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true); to false.

    I started out with subnetwork1.example.com, in the subnetwork admin I added a new site to it with subdomain= false, and voila! I got to enter: subnetwork1.example.com/newsite

    Now, I switch define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, back and forth- true</ for a new newtork, and false for a new network site.

    Maybe for a subdirectory install it’s as simple as the reverse?

    You’re pretty close here.

    You’ll want to choose a subdirectory installation type, and then you’ll have total control over your subdomain & path fields.

    Honestly, this is how WordPress’s UI should always look for this.

    If you need sites to be more than 1 directory level deep, you’ll need to write some code to tell WordPress that sites are located there.
