Title: Grrrr Multisite Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Grrrr Multisite * [nickzee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickzee/) * (@nickzee) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grrrr-multisite/) * Of course I’m writing because I have a problem that I hope to solve. But first I’d like to point something out. * Because I have an issue, I’ve searched high and low to figure it out on my own, and from what I can gather, every “Mulitsite Not Working” thread has a different solution. In my opinion, I believe the Multisite documentation could be a little more descriptive and “laymen”. After all, a lot of “laymen” use WordPress and sometimes we/they need a definitive set of instructions. * About 3 months ago I tried to install Multisite and gave up after a few hours of trying. 1 month ago, tried ago, and gave up. Now I’m back to try again and realize I need help. * I really like [@ipstenu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) (Mika Epstein) and [@andrea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea/) Rennick because they have answered every question to the best of their ability. So thank for that! * I have Godaddy Ultimate hosting (no ssl or dedicated IP). (I know, they suck, blah blah blah). Operating System – LINUX PHP Version – 5.4 I have 13 hosted domains and 10 of them have WordPress installed. Once I get multisite working, each domain will be mapped. * I want to consolidate them into mulitsites (w/ sub-directories) but cannot get it to work properly. * My folder structure is as such * /home/content/##/####/html – No WP install /home/content/##/####/html/site1 – Separate Install /home/content/##/####/html/site2 – Separate Install /home/content/##/####/ html/site3 – Separate Install /home/content/##/####/html/site4 – Separate Install and so on… * I chose one (ie. site3) and enabled multisite. Once I undated the htaccess and wpconfig within folder “site3” and logged in, the multisite dashboard appears. * The problem comes when creating a new site. * I add the sub-directory (Site Address), name and email. It creates the new site, but accessing the Dashboard returns a 404 or sometimes Internal Server Error. * I previously had Better WP Security Enabled for the Network, but disabled and updated the htaccess to default from “Network Setup” area. * I can see the front end of the new site but it appears to be missing the css. And the admin bar is missing. Before disabling better WP Security, I couldn’t get to the front end. So some progress. * Where should I go from here? * Thank you in advance! * Nick Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [Pat Victor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/instovo/) * (@instovo) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grrrr-multisite/#post-4500933) * Do you happen to have any other plugins active? Is the CSS also missing with a default theme like Twenty Fourteen? * Can you look at the page source code and see the link to the style-sheet? What is it? * You have something like this in your wp-config.php? * ``` define('MULTISITE', true); define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false); define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'site3.com'); define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/'); ``` * Did you by chance use the one-click Multisite installer in your hosting panel? There were some threads last week with problems related to that. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grrrr-multisite/#post-4500985) * > I can see the front end of the new site but it appears to be missing the css. > And the admin bar is missing.

But the admin bar is and accessing the dashboard is “500 Internal Server Error”. * No, I did not use the one-click multisite installer from Godaddy. I don’t even know if they have one. * I have the following plugins active (Network Enabled.) * Contact Form 7 Smart Cleanup Tools WooCommerce WordPress Importer * And these are installed but, not active: Better WP Security Ultimate Coming Soon Page Wordfence Security * My wp-config looks this: * > /* Multisite */ > define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); > define(‘MULTISITE’, true); > define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false); define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’,‘ > site3.com’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’); define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, > 1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1); * Thank you! * Thread Starter [nickzee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickzee/) * (@nickzee) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grrrr-multisite/#post-4501085) * I’m think that because I’m on Godaddy shared hosting, and DO NOT have wordpress installed in the “/html/” folder (root), that might be the issue. * So is possible to have “/html/site3/” as a mulitsite? * When I set up the account I used a “fake” domain as the primary so that I could have each site in it’s own folder. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grrrr-multisite/#post-4501086) * > So is possible to have “/html/site3/” as a mulitsite? * Maybe. * If /html/site3/ is adomain.com in the browser, then yes 🙂 Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Grrrr Multisite’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [multisite](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/multisite/) * In: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) * 5 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * Last activity: [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/grrrr-multisite/#post-4501086) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
