WordPress Multisite – Creating new site issues
-
In WordPress Multisite, everything has been working fine until today. Today, when I try to add a new site, I enter the site name, the site prefix and when I try to enter the admin email, it just sits and spins and never comes back with anything.
I’ve been creating sites for the last year the same way and then suddenly, it starts misbehaving. There have been no updates in the last week, so I’m at a loss to explain what happened.
Anyone have any troubleshooting tips?

Hello John,
Sorry to hear that you’re having problems with the WordPress multisite (WordPress calls it “Network” now, by the way). If you have indeed NOT made any changes to the WordPress site, the main things to consider are any automatic updates or plugins and also the database itself. Database corruption can occur that will cause problems with your site. So, the best thing in the world to help stop it is consistently making backups. To help your troubleshooting efforts, simplify the operation of your site by disabling of your plugins and then also check your database for possible corruption. You may also want to try going to a generic theme if you’re using one with a lot moving parts. One last thing, to rule out possible outside influence (aka hackers), change your passwords and check your logs.
Best wishes and luck in getting this working once again!
