I have a main portfolio site hosted through MacHighway. My hosting package allows me to have two domains. I thought I'd register a new domain to experiment with some new things. So I bought a new domain, went into my main site's cPanel, registered it as an Addon Domain, and tried to install Wordpress on it. I got Wordpress working on it just fine, but then all of the links on my main site broke. So I deleted the files for the new site to see if that would help, but all of the links on my main site are still broken. The pages all say 'file not found.' Where did I go wrong? How can I fix this? I don't care about the new site at the moment. I just need to get my main site back the way it was. Help?
This is my site.
Nevermind. I visited Settings > Permalinks and everything works again.

My multisite worked fine, but suddenly it does not load the names of the subsites. Instead it displays only the name of the main site.
I tried to disable plugins, reinstall WP etc. Maybe it is caused by 4.6.1?
When I go to /wp-admin/options-general.php of each subsite I see the name of the main site. The blog description is shown properly. When I try to rename the subsite name and save it, it does not change.
Interesting: When I go wp-admin/network/sites.php and look at the settings for each subsite, I can see that the proper names for each subsite.
The problem affects even the get_bloginfo(‘name’); function. It shows the main site name only.
I hope you can help me!
The problem was an outdated version of the WPML plugin. Installed a new one and works now.
I built a website for our company using a wordpress install. This is installed in it's own directory on our hosting account on GoDaddy. We have a domain purchased through GoDaddy added as an addon domain. When you go to OurNewSite.com you see the homepage located at OurOldSite.com/wordpress, and OurNewSite.com in the address bar. However, when you navigate to the About Us page on the site, the address bar changes back to OurOldSite.com/wordpress/about.
I've tried the answer from THIS POST here, with OurNewSite.com in the fields, but this doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So, this is actually what worked for me. After waiting, the link eventually updated after a few hours, but it produced an Internal Server Error. THIS ARTICLE has a list of common causes for the error I was getting on the link pages. The directions for "checking for a corrupt .htaccess file worked like a charm.
I've got a live Wordpress site that is working fine. Time for a few updates, so the guy hosting this site for us has created a new subdirectory, 'newdev', and copied the live site into it.
He said he's updated the database, and in my Dashboard-->Settings-->General, the WordPress Address (URL) has been updated to http://newdev.thecyclery.net.au (while the live site URL is http://thecyclery.net.au.
I find that I can open the homepage of the dev site OK, but if I click any links, it takes me to that page on the live site. E.g, I'm on http://newdev.thecyclery.net.au, then click 'Ride' and it takes me to http://thecyclery.net.au/ride
If I manually enter the URL for sub-pages (e.g. http://newdev.thecyclery.net.au/ride) it directs back to the DEV homepage.
I really need to be able to see my dev pages so I know that the work I'm doing is working and displaying correctly... Any suggestions?
Thanks, I hope I've provided enough info!!

So I created a new subdomain on Dreamhost. One-click installed Wordpress. Fresh Copied the olddomain.com to newdomain.com exported all the tables with the drop attribute to the new wordpress database via phpmyadmin. Then followed this post to update the urls.
The site doesn't load, giving me this error message:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
I would make sure to check the 'www' rules in Fully Hosted (from the web panel: Manage Domains > Web Hosting > Edit), compared with your site URL settings in the WordPress dashboard. Make sure those aren't conflicting first.
If you need further assistance, just let me know the domain name and I can take a look. Please also feel free to start a LiveChat from the panel or submit a ticket; our support team is here to help 24/7!
Thanks!

I finally ended up creating an empty site and then using the WP Duplicator plugin. Worked like a charm!
I have moved my Wordpress multisite to a new host.
The existing main and sub sites are working fine, but after I create a new subsite the subsite and its admin panel keep redirecting me to the main site.
the wp-config and .htaccess files were copied as they were.
I've contacted an admin at the hosting company but he says that everything is defined right on their side and that there's something defined wrong on the WordPress side.
Can anyone say where the problem's really?
Ok, clearing browsers' caches solved the problem.
