They said they did not anything with their servers recently.
I checked my error logs and did not find anything relevant to the problematic page (the network dashboard page) . I dont know what’s going on, it is very confusing, especially that it occurred without any change that I made.

Seems not. I had to change to another much better plugin called Optinpop. I love it.

Hi. I am back after I changed my hosting account’s primary domain, and made it the domain with which I want to access my network, and moved the netowrk’s files to the root folder.
I installed new WP on that folder and converted it to a network, I had to choose subdomains under the claim that it is not a new network and I had no other choice, although I have just installed it. Anyway I wanted subdomains in any case, so that’s not an issue.
Then I created 3 subsites, and named them x1.domain.com x2.domain.com and x3.domain.com.
Then I created a wildcard subdomain pointing to the root folder (public html).
I tested, the subsites do not load.
Then I created one subdomain x1.domain.com and pointed it to the root folder, but that did not work either. I made sure there are no subfolders to which the subdomain might be pointing.

What did I miss this time ?

Okay. it seems the same problem here. I did not mention that this network (too) I have installed on a subfolder.
But as I said before, the subsites are rather on subfolders not subdomains. Does that still affects the ability to assign addon domains to subsites?

If so, there might be a problem , because this sub folder is installed on an account whose PRIMARY domain is another domain connected with a normal WP installation (non multisite), and not the one which is associated with the multisite concerned. This means I can’t move the multiste files to public html because that is the dir of the primary site, and it does not seem like it is possible to install a WP there (despite that fact that the primary domain’s WP installation is inside a subdir not in public html).
I figured I can change my primary domain. So if the problem highlighted above is indeed because the multisite is not in the root folder, should I change the multisite’s domain to primary domain so I’d be able to install the multisite in public html? (which seems like a nightmare to me, because that means I will indulge in a difficult process of migrating ! )

Any ideas and thoughts are much appreciated .

Trust me, I read the create a network tutorial more than 2 times, and I never noticed that :S

Okay, so I cannot have a network if Multiste files are inside a public_html/subfolder, and all WP files must be directly inside public_html.

Okay. I will move the files and will continue to experiment and try to get it sorted out. Meanwhile if you got some time (I know you have life, family and work 🙂 ) , would be thankful to hear from on what I should pay attention to next.
Thanx
( BTW, the other topic is not related to this, that speaks about a different website 🙂 )

I’d also be grateful if you could respond to my response to your response 🙂 , here :

Okay I have read the whole post again and I think I have a better understanding this time:

1- I can either use a wildcard domain (*.DOMAIN.com) which acts like a forwarding rule: any subdomain that the browser requests is automatically forwarded to the directory I sepcified, and it should be where the Multisite installation is (in my case, Public_html/MULTISITE , yes, I dont have it directly inside public_html because there are other WP installations there).

2- OR, I create the subdomains for each sub-site that are actually going to be requested by the browsers (when a visitor visits the corresponding sub-site , for instance), and point the subdomains to the the Mulltisite’s path, in my case “Public_html/MULTISITE”.

Okay. But the question is, when a user visits “subsite1.DOMAIN.com” , and he is taken to Public_html/MULTISITE (either because of the wildcard or because of the subdomain that also points to Public_html/MULTISITE), how will he get to the requested sub site???

:))

I am very confused :S

Okay, Now I no longer have the new subdomains. I have the old subdomains that are currently working as normal.
I have a *.domain.com whose DOCUMENT ROOT is /public_html/wildcard (I could not choose anything else when I created it)

Do I keep it or not?
Or do you want me to create the subdomains again in cpanel (x1, x2, x3) and make their names match exactly the subdomains that my WP Multisite gave to the new sub sites when I created them ?
Thank you for your patience 🙂
