# Multisite Subdoman Dashboard Issue

 * Within my multisite setup, I’m currently being redirected to my main website’s
   dashboard, instead of being sent to a subdomain dashboard.
 * Here are the steps that I take:
    1) I go to the “My Sites” tab 2) I go to “Main
   Page” and click on dashboard 3) I am directed to the “Main Page” dashboard 4)
   I go to the “My Sites” tab 5) I go to “Another Page” (will end up being mainpage.
   com/anotherpage) and click on dashboard 6) I am directed to the “Main Page” dashboard
 * Why am I being directed to the “Main Page” dashboard instead of being directed
   to the “Another Page” dashboard?
 * Side info:
    I am a super admin and I’m an admin on all the other pages that I’ve
   created.
 * I’m not sure if I pulled a wrong move during the install, but any advice or help
   would be much appreciated. Thank you!

 * Hey!
 * You write:
 * > instead of being sent to a subdomain dashboard.
 * and then:
 * > will end up being mainpage.com/anotherpage
 * Have you installed the network based on Sub-domains or Sub-directories? Do you
   have this issues also in the frontend or only in the backend? Could you please
   post the contents of your .htaccess?
 * Cheers

 * 5k9m, thanks for being willing to help out!
 * I set the multisite to be based on sub-directories and it seems that I have issues
   on the frontend and backend. Evenstill, I set this up previously and got differing,
   correct results.
 * Here is the code in my .htaccess file:
 *     ```
       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]
       ```

 * Hey!
 * Sorry for my late answer – was a long day at work yesterday.
    Well, as your .
   htaccess setup is right, my best guess would be a wrong wildcard subdomain setup.
   Your host might not allow to register subdomains on the fly, therefore, redirects
   all invalid calls to the main domain.
 * I would suggest talking to your host – at least that’s the only reasonable issue
   I can think of in your case.

 * No worries! Thank you so much for following up. I’ll definitely shoot a message
   to my host and see what’s up.
 * Again, thank you for the help.
