I have a WP network setup running the latest versions of WP and Buddypress. I want to set up ~40 users with blogs, and have created these blogs using the Batch Create plugin, but now when I try to visit one of these folders, eg burkphysics.com/elizabethf, it redirects to burkphysics.com. All sites, even sites I create manually do this.
I’ve followed the config steps to properly configure both my wp-admin file and .htaccess file, and I can’t see any problems. This also worked fine last year before I upgraded wordpress and buddypress.
Here’s the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since you installed wordpress in a sub directory called “wordpress” you should try changing your last rewrite rule like this.
Check if the multisite plugin hasnt been deactivated during the wordpress update… It happened to me once and it drove me mad for hours 😛
