Unable to create a Wordpress multisite network for an existing installation, A Last Hope - wordpress

I have a website with some large number of posts like (75k posts).
Till now, i am using a plugin called Main Category As Sub-domain to convert categories into sub-domains.
ISSUE - 1 → In recent wordpress 4.7 update, few functions of that plugins are depreciated. I don't think that plugin's author is going update it.
ISSUE - 2 → I tried to use its alternative plugins, but they are having some permalink restrictions which are causing 404 errors for my existing posts. So, i cant use them.
My current permalink structure is /%post_id%/%postname%/
After all, I decided to convert my single WP into Multisite.
I followed all steps in http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
But after changing .htaccess and wp-config.php, I logged out.
ISSUE - 3 →When i login again, i am not seeing anything new in WP Dashboard. (i.e) Network is not setup. I tried it many times but no use.
I am not able to understand what is causing this issue.
ISSUE - 4 → Also, i tried to create an alternative WP multisite to export all category posts to specific sub-sites. I know this will work but taking long time to process exporting and importing as i can only export 2000-2500 posts at once.
MY IDEAS
Using .htaccess rules to redirect 404 errors when using alternative
plugins.
Importing and Exporting posts with help of MySQL.
I don't know whether these are possible or not. But
Please help me, setup a network for my site.
Or provide any alternative idea.
Any kind of response would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In wp-config.php make define('WP_DEBUG', true);. It will show you what and where the problem is.

Redirect loop problem, elements + elementor

I was developing a website in wordpress with usage of plugins Envato Elements and Elementor, and after I was almost done I wanted to set my new homepage and I accidentally created Redirect loop and now I can't access wp-admin, its hosted on google cloud which don't offer technical support for free trial. I tried to disable plugins by changing name of plugins folder to plugins_disable but I have problems using mv command which is not only renaming but moving files... I maybe need to change that in database but I have no idea how, can you please check that out and point me in good direction?

Link to home redirect loop: http://34.118.78.190/?elementor_library=home-2

Wordpress Multilingual plugin subdirectory lanauge

I'm currently trying to install a Wordpress website, and providing it through multiple languages. I've found a bunch of plugins to manage the translation.
But I'm still getting stuck to setup WordPress to be able to have http://www.mywebsite.com/en/ and/or http://www.mywebsite.com/de/.
I've found the language switch redirecting to the same page, with the correct subdirectory, but I got an error 404. It looks something should be enabled globally on Wordpress, or even changing the Apache configuration?
Thank you for your future help.
You can User this plugin for making multilingual you site.

How to remove or blog prefix in Wordpress

I've run my WordPress website for a long time, and recently got hacked. I cleaned everything I could find and started new.
In Wordfence logs I found that someone tried to log in from blog.mywebsite.pl. I figured out that is from my webp. I realized that "blog." prefix is created automatically after wp installation. This "blog." prefix runs as http, so I could get hacked from there. I want to harden my WordPress so I need to know how to block this.
I Googled the issue, but couldn't find any answers. Can someone provide info/links on how to block or remove this blog prefix in my domain/website name?

After updating some plugin, my wordpress site is currepted. How resolve this?

I don't know after updating which plugin. Now my site is showing all special characters as like below, What to do?
If you need to identify plugin conflicts do this.
Go to your plugin folder and rename plugins one by one and and check whether your web site is coming back to the previous state again.
This is the simple way WordPress developers use to identify plugin conflicts.
cheers :)

WordPress with Yahoo! Hosting... Almost there

EDIT:
Yeah, so this problem is really unsolvable. Yahoo prevents access to .htaccess, even from WordPress itself trying to change it. I had to settle for writing a script on the default homepage that redirects browsers to "www.abc.com/index.php" if they go straight to "www.abc.com". You always have to deal with "index.php" being in the address bar but it's better than not having permalinks...
/EDIT
Yahoo! Small Business hosting seems specifically engineered to make WordPress difficult-- but it's my client's host and there's not much I can do about it. I'm trying to move WordPress into the root directory, and I'm sooo close to having it done.
I've read and read and read about how to get the Permalinks to work right, and since Yahoo! hosting doesn't let you modify htaccess I am pretty much up s*** creek. I'm using the simple permalink structure of "/%postname%/", which once I moved to the root, stopped working. I have changed it to "/index.php/%postname%/", which allows you to see the pages if you manually type in index.php before the page name or if you are logged into the admin area and "View Page". Also, the correct permalink shows on all of the pages in the editor.
However, WordPress doesn't let you change the permalink of the static page you use as the front page.
Long story short, if I go to "www.abc.com/index.php", the links in the menu all work fine. However, if I just got to "www.abc.com", the links don't pick up the "index.php" from the permalink structure. I need to fix this, so if anyone knows how to either:
Change the permalink of the static front page
Fix something in the database if I install PhpMyAdmin
Work around not having access to .htaccess
Put a small script somewhere on the index page to append "index.php" to the url
Any other suggestions
It seems it would work if I was NOT using a static front page but rather the blog, but this isn't an option. I've tried changing the "Tag base" setting to no avail, as well as deactivating the Yahoo! Custom Permalinks plugin (and reactivating it again after that failed...). Could really use some help!
Check out Giving Wordpress its own directory. I can see how this could solve your problem. Also make sure that you have done the obvious, and change your url for WordPress address (URL) Site address (URL) inside the general settings page. Perhaps the static homepage should be developed outside of wordpress, and then you can follow the steps provided in the link I provided. Hope this solves your issue.
Yahoo doesn't allow users access to the htaccess file which means that you can't the mod_rewrite rules needed for custom permlinks. The Only way around it that i've heard it works (never tried it myself) is to add /index.php/ to the beginning of your custom structure so: Go to Permalink Settings > Select Custom Structure. And set the value as /index.php/%postname%/ or what ever you want as long as you add /index.php/ before it.
Hope this helps.
I had a similar problem with this host (in 2018! 4 years after your question) that I finally solved by changing the permalink settings.
Settings > Permalink Settings > Custom Structure: /index.php/%postname%/
I wish there was a better solution but Yahoo Small Business still doesn't allow .htaccess files - after several frustrating rounds with customer service, I finally admitted defeat and used this work around.
