Tricky WordPress Multisite Setup

I was converting a regular WordPress blog to a Multisite blog the other day. I got stuck in the part where I needed to edit the wp-config.php file. I applied the changes to wp-config.php as suggested in the installation instructions. The problem was I wasn’t seeing the Multisite menus you would normally find under ‘My Sites’ inside the WordPress Dashboard. The installation instructions tells you to add the following lines to your wp-config.php file.

/** Enable WordPress Multisite */
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
$base = '/';
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

/** Enable WordPress Multisite */ define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); define('MULTISITE', true); define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false); $base = '/'; define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com'); define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/'); define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1); define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

It was a silly mistake on my part. I placed these entries at the end of the wp-config file. It is important that these lines remain above the absolute path statement and before the wp-settings are loaded. See below.

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
 
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */ if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/'); /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */ require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

Keep these lines at the end of the wp-config.php file.
