Thanks for that ipstenu. Unfortunately still no movement. http://blogs.spc.ox.ac.uk/matt/ still 404’ing.

I’ve amended the .htaccess with the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [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]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        Option +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

Thanks for your help so far Andrea_r, it is really appreciated.

I have followed your advice so far. However I am still stuck creating new sites. E.g I have sent myself an invitation to a blog https://blogs.spc.ox.ac.uk/matt but nothing shows up and no email is received. (not going to junk or anything else)

Any ideas?

atb,
matt
