I’m trying to configure a WP Multisite to run locally, all is fine on the server, but getting this to run locally is turning into quite a pain. The issue I’m currently seeing is that some of the sites won’t load anything except the home page when the permalink settings are anything but plain. The inconsistency is confusing me.

So far I’ve added the following code:

wp-config.php

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

/* Multisite */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

/* Multisite stage two */
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '******');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wp/******/site/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/******/site/
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]

I’ve…

• Updated all the site values in the DB
• Reset the permalinks multiple times
• Deactivated all plugins
• Made sure the rewrite module is turned on

All the searches for this issue bring me to the same 3 solutions I’ve tried again and again. Any help will be hugely appreciated!

On one of the sites live (which is under development) I’ve just test changed a permalink setting, thinking this would be a closed environment to that theme, I now have this same error live! The urgency has just got a lot larger :/
