Hi All
In need of some advice.
My website is a single site running on a multisite install.
Everything is standard (I think) apart from the multisite install is in a subdirectory
/public_html/wp rather than the root /public_html
The site has been up for years, but the WP site health kept telling me to amend the value of max post upload size to the media library by changing a setting in the .htaccess file.
Foolishly, I downloaded the htaccess file and modified the setting and reuploaded it.
It didn’t fix the problem but caused no harm.
Then I noticed that there were more than one htaccess file. One in the root public_html folder and another in the public_html/wp directory.
So I FTP’d the modified htaccess there as well. And now my site doesn’t work properly and to my horror I couldn’t find my backup copy of htaccess (although I found lots of older ones).
I tried various modifications based on the old site but the site is still broken.
The current position is that I went into the multisite settings and copied the default htaccess code displayed there and created a brand new htaccess in the public_html/wp folder. i deleted the htaccess from the root public_html folder.
++++
#1 problem: (now fixed!)
The current symptoms is that when I go to instead of my home page I see an error:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to whisperingcat.co.uk
When I try with Chrome instead of Firefox, I get a different error:
whisperingcat.co.uk redirected you too many times.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
Which is suggestive of a loop of some kind.
++++
However, I can still login into the admin dashboard and I can still click on an article page in the dashboard and display it by clicking “View” or by typing its url into the address bar.
It’s just the home page that is blocked.
#2 problem
Another problem is that if I remove the /wp from the page path, the articles no longer work (they did before I overwrote the htaccess), I get a 404.
Any suggestions as to how to fix the htaccess gratefully received.
Regards
Dave
ps You’ll also notice that the link below displays the directory listing for some reason. If I add the /wp on the end, it doesn’t.
UPDATE: I found some duplicate code that was causing a loop. I have uploaded a fixed file and the #1 problem between ++++ and ++++ is now fixed.
#2 problem still remains
