After Multisite migration – Sites go to 404 pages

    I’ve created a multisite on my staging server. Then I moved it to the live server.

    I updated all the urls in my database with the correct domain.

    I can see the main site (mydomain.com), and I can enter the main dashboard and Network admin. But I can’t go in my Sites. mydomain.com/au, mydomain.com/nz and each of their dashboards go to 404 pages.

    I also checked the .htaccess and tech support confirmed that the apache is reading it.

    Has any one else had this problem with migration?

    Hello @markendley,

    I hope things are going well for you.

    Can you please do a few things to check if this could help to resolve the issue?

    — Create a .htaccess backup and replace the .htaccess with the WordPress Default Subfolder htaccess from here:
    https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/server/web-server/httpd/#wordpress-3-5-subfolder-example
    This helps to resolve such issues that happen after the migration.

    — Also navigate to Network Admin → Sites → Edit each site → Settings tab and check the Siteurl and Home values are correct.

    — Third, if you have the site’s database access, you can check the wp_blogs table to know each subsite’s path.

    — Ensure that the WP-config.php has SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL is false if you’re using /au, not subdomain.mydomain.com.

    — Lastly, flush the rewrite rules using the permalink from Network Admin → Settings → Permalinks -> Update.

    Please follow the given steps and let us know how it goes.

    Kind Regards,
    Imran Khan
