    Tacklers is not a spammer but a relieved soul who managed to get his multi-site working on the 5th attempt after support on this forum, including yours Mika when you weren’t busy. Cheers, Richard

    /%category%/%postname%.html works for me. Richard

    Presume
    1. wp-config to ALLOW MULTISITE etc
    2. Login /Tools/network setup/Install
    3. Login /create network
    4. Copy/paste wp-config and .htaccess(x 2 if WP not root)
    Does the top left menu then mention sites anywhere?

    My build was probably further ahead of yours. I learnt that the accuracy of the .htaccess script(s) (if WP not in root) is vital during the MultiSite initial config stage. I did a build where the lower .htaccess had not been changed properly, the multi site dashboard didn’t show but I could edit the URL to force it, it just wasn’t right. I rebuilt the MultiSite setup from WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE again and followed all the codex instruction to the letter, including removing the www form both site names etc. The site soon worked and I just had the login loop problem. I sympathise as Mika Epstein seems to be the only contributing guru and he’s very busy so the issue of open source gets a bit challenging. All I can suggest is get an environment that you can easily snapshot and restart from, I’m on AWS and it flies with full control. Cheers Richard

    Solution found, tested and working! Go and see my post -15 before this.

    Joy of joys I found a solution. CHACHA posted in July/2012
    I added this to my wp-config.php and everything worked, instantly!
    define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
    define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
    define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ”);
    define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ”);

    If anyone can explain why then it might help all those other desperate souls out there searching for the solution but cast adrift in the world of self-help. Cheers, Richard (UK)

    Wow what a great solution, you really know how to do it. I was so chuffed when it worked for me too. Many thanks.

    I have the same problem but do not understand what changing ‘keys and salt’s’ means? cheers, Richard

    Hi Paaljoachim, a while ago you had a multisite problem with logins looping which you fixed. I don’t know how to contact individuals on the forum but I have the same problem and am stuck. Richard dot Collins at tacklers dot eu, cheers

    Just to confirm that I get the login loop problem as well and am completely stuck (15 posts before this one). I have rebuilt 4 times from a good 3.5.1 base and cannot work around it. Do you have WP in a separate directory so have two .htaccess files? Richard

    Cache cleared too, in both IE and Chrome and MC cold started. I’d seen some posts that refer to the site ID being an issue but sense this may be out of date stuff? Never had a working MS environment yet so not sure how much is tied up to the original/primary domain. With a user ‘richard’ on site#2 I can do a lost password request, the url domain name changes from site#2 to site#1, I enter user ‘richard’ then it sends the mail to the correct address with a link to site#1 signon but the link immediately resolves with a message ‘sorry that key does not appear to be valid’. Probably all a red herring but I’m now clutching at straws, do you know where I can go and look to see what sites are tied up with what passwords? I can setup a new user for site#2 and an email is dutifully generated with a login link and password but still no joy. Aaargh.

    You know what it’s like, when you’ve written it down your brain starts thinking.

    Ah ha, yes I remembered there are two .htaccess files and I’d only updated the one.

    /var/www/html/blog .htaccess
    /var/www/html/blog/.htaccess

    Working better now but not finished yet as need to work out the new site / domain stuff, maybe more posts to follow!
