    I have a MU site with six websites using the subfolder structure. I also am using the domain name mapping plugin. So each subfolder points to a separate domain name. Pretty sweet setup. Everything works great except for this one site.

    When I am in edit mode and try to view the home page the URL looks like this:

    http://www.maindomain.com/subfolder-site/www/home

    It pulls a 404 error – when viewing FROM the WordPress dashboard. But when I view the site as a visitor, it displays fine:

    http://www.mappeddomain.com

    Now I noticed that all my pages within this MU site have the same thing happening to the URL string. So when I go to say services, within WP I see this:

    http://www.maindomain.com/subfolder-site/www/services

    But it will view correctly:

    http://www.mappeddomain.com/services

    None of the other 5 sites are having this issue. Only this one. Its no big deal to me, but my client wants it resolved. Has anyone ever come across this?

    What’s different between that one site and the other 5? Plugins? Theme? Custom tweaks?

    That’s the weird thing. The six sites are using just two different themes. See its for a family of schools. So the main site is one theme and the 5 other sites, the actual schools, all use the same theme, same plugins just with different styles of colors / fonts to differentiate the schools from one another. The 4 other sites that use the same theme as the one I am having trouble with are all fine.

    Is it possible that its a DNS record issue? Like maybe I have it setup different than the other 4? Any thoughts would be a tremendous help.

    How did you add the domains to your server?

    Also what’s in your wp-config for Multisite?
