Just installed WordPress 3.8.1 multisite but can’t remove the /blog/ slug. I’ve tried all suggestions for older versions of WordPress (including the solutions to the question posted on this site 6 months ago regarding removing from root) to no avail. Anybody know how to fix this or if it’s possible to fix?
I need two sites for a dual language website. Could a solution be to just create 3 sites and use the root site as an interface to the other sites, or should I use an alternative CMS?
I fixed this in the following way.
Go to the “Network admin”. Then Sites â Edit â Settings â Permalink Structure. Remove
blog
from it.Then I removed
blog
from two lines in table which obtained as a result of the query:Useful link on subject: How To Remove The /blog/ slug From The Permalinks(URL) in WordPress Multisite Installation Without A Plugin
This works with WP 3.8, I have not tried with 3.8.1
Note if you go to the main sites Setting -> Permalink you will still see
blog
, but it does not applied any more. But if you press “Save changes”,blog
slug will be used again. You need to redo previous actions againIn your main install folder is:
wp-admin/options-permalink.php
Change:
to:
Worked great for me, but you have to replace the slug with another I assume. (I did not try to leave it blank)
I couldn’t get fixes for older versions to work with 3.8.1 either.
I just removed blog from the
options-permalink.php
– left it blank and it’s working so far…. fingers crossed….
