Problems with Multisite

    I can’t seem to get multisite working at all.

    I’ve installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, tried sub-directories and subdomains. Nothing works.

    If I install with sub-directories, the sub-sites will load. However, when logging in, their dashboards load in an unusable state, as per my previous post.

    If I install with subdomains, then the sub-site pages and login pages are unreachable and give 403 errors.

    In both cases, the main site works, but the subsites are all borked. Currently have a subdomain install, but can’t get into any subsite created.

    I don’t have any plugins running. I’ve tried replacing htaccess. I’ve set file permissions to 755/644 manually, I’ve had my host reset file permissions, I’ve called my host and confirmed that wildcard is enabled… I’ve run through the common 403 errors and I’m not experienced enough to know or check more esoteric ones.

    Are you trying to connect via https?
    If yes, I suggest you start without the security layer, which will add its own peculiarities (especially if you use let´s encrypt, since they don´t issue wildcard certificates).

    Which .htaccess content do you use? It differs a bit from standard.

    Besides this, I have no further ideas (I’ve never dealt with multisite).
    Wish you good luck!

    My htaccess is as follows:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    It’s just the stuff from the setup page copied into the file and replacing the rules between the mod_rewrite tags. Nothing fancy.

    EDIT: I’m not using https. I’m fresh out of install, just set up a couple pages on the main site, made a few posts so it’s not empty of content. I’ve put in one theme, no plugins at all.
