Issue with multisite permalinks

    Right, we’ve just converted a single WordPress install to a multisite, updated the .htacess and wp-config files.

    The pretty permalinks works on the original site but the new website the permalinks wont work. If the permalinks didn’t work for one of the sites then I may think the .htaccess is incorrect or the server did have mod_rewrite enabled but I have checked both of these.

    The permalinks were working when when the site was using the subfolder url e.g. website.com/newsite/ but only seems to be once we changed the site url the issues started.

    Set up using subfolders.

    Any ideas?

    What do you changed in the site url ?

    You can check
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-permalinks?replies=16

    it said

    “Bad things CAN happen when you change blog to anything (be it site or nothing at all).

    Basically if you change it, you stop WordPress from being able to check for collisions between your main site and any generated subsites. Among other things.

    OK so we had siteone.com set up.

    When we set up the multisite this one because the primary (not sure if this is the correct term) so the mutlisite network admin is siteone.com/wp-admin/network

    We build sitetwo using a subfolder siteone.com/sitetwo

    During this all permalink are working fine, when we moved the domain for sitetwo over and changed the site url to sitetwo.com the permalinks stopped working for sitetwo.com but continued working on siteone.com – The homepage works fine for sitetwo.com just any inner pages provide the server 404 error. Plain permalinks are the only ones that work for sitetwo.com

    Do you use this plugin to do your domain mapping on your multisite installation ?

    Yeah I’ve been using that, doesn’t seem to have much impact when active or inactive.

    I will probably move it to a single install today which I’m hoping should fix it.
