# Multisite *mostly* working, some URLs not rendering correctly

 * I have multisite enabled and followed wordpress.org’s official guide to do so(
   don’t currently have the link). Everything seems to work pretty well except one
   pretty challenging issue. My primary site is called “watermint” and I have created
   a second site called “battleschool”. In the WordPress admin area when I hover
   over “My Sites” I get a dropdown showing the following options: “Network Admin”,“
   watermint” and “battleschool”. If I hover over battleschool and then hover over“
   Dashboard” the URL shown in the browser at the bottom is just [http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin](http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin),
   however the correct URL for navigating to the battleschool dashboard is [http://www.mydomain.com/battleschool/wp-admin](http://www.mydomain.com/battleschool/wp-admin).
 * If I click the link I am taken to the default dashboard (watermint) and not battleschool.
   If I instead manually type in “www.mydomain.com/battleschool/wp-admin” the battleschool
   dashboard comes up fine. Once I am at “www.mydomain.com/battleschool/wp-admin”
   most things seem to work perfectly. Any of the left-hand menu options all come
   up with the URL containing “battleschool” but there are a couple of areas where“
   battleschool” is still left out of the URL (for instance the “Activate” button
   when activating a theme).
 * The problem just seems to be that although wordpress recognizes I have multiple
   sites, and although if I use the correct URL I am redirected correctly (.htaccess
   is working). There are a few places where when WP renders out links it’s not 
   rendering them out correctly. Can someone shed some light on what’s happening?
 * Here’s my wp-config and just for fun my .htaccess as well.
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.mydomain.com');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       ```

 * Thanks for the fast response.
 * No plugins are active
 * The theme I am using is called Salient but I have also activated “Twenty Fifteen”
   and I have the same issue on both themes.

 * I’ve seen this happen now and then, but I’ve never been able to reproduce it.
 * You followed these directions, right? [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
 * In general, I’ve told people to delete the multisite part of their site and start
   over, since something was done ‘wrong’ (and I use that VERY loosely) to break
   WP’s brain.
 * Is WP installed in a folder (like domain.com/folder/) but runnig from domain.
   com?
