enabled multisite — but I think I just broke my site?

I followed these instructions: https://wpmudev.com/blog/ultimate-guide-multisite/?utm_expid=3606929-72.AqocGS0YR5Gn_p3r6t6_AA.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com.au%2F

My home page appears to be fine- but when I go to click a link on there – it just comes up with an error.

I tried editing via upfront — but doesnt load- it just suspends there

please help

Hi there improvingPDHPE ,

Hope all is well with you !

Can you check if you have added this to your WP config file ?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Step_2:_Allow_Multisite

Also this bit for your specific folder / domain
```
define('MULTISITE', true);

define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);

define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'mydomain.com');

define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');

define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
```
Finally check your htaccess file to see if it matches the one here

Cheers

Hey Jude

Thank you so much!

Your links/code fixed it – there was 2 minor adjustments I had to make

also – is the WPMUDEV dashboard supposed to be evident/accessible? because I cannot see it anymore now?

Hey there improvingPDHPE

The WPMU DEV Dashboard will not be visible on the site menu it will be on the Network Admin menu.

Cheers

thanks Jude.

Sorry but I've ran into another problem:

when enter the subdomain in my address bar:

resources.improvingpdhpe.com

..it comes up with a bluehost page.

even if i go to (see attached picture below) ..

if i click "visit" or "dashboard" it takes me to a bluehost page.

[attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

I asked Bluehost what was going on and they said they weren't sure and that it probably has something to do with the wp-config file (attached)

.. they also said that this type of support is not offered by them

any help would be most appreciated. I have granted support access.

thank you

Okay i figured it out after watching this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVmfOzAnE7g

turns out i had a folder within a folder in cpanel when i created my subdomain

…

but can you tell me why my header looks like this:

[image pos=”0″]

in the word “FREE” , the pages “FREE CORE ONE” and “FREE CORE TWO” are meant to be drop downs. i.e. it’s meant to look like this:

[image pos=”1″]

Hi again improvingPDHPE

Looks like some kind of glitch caused by a bad save.

Can you please delete this menu and add a fresh one from scratch and see if this happens there too ?

Cheers
