Wrong blogs detected by Snapshot on my Multisite

On my Multisite, Snapshot detects an incorrect primary blog with an incorrect path:

testlabs.ca/wp2015//wp2015/

This should be

testlabs.ca/wp2015/

and subsite

testlabs.ca/wp2015/blog1/

Snapshot created an archive if I don’t try to change or detect the wrong path

testlabs.ca/wp2015//wp2015

However if I try to create a Snapshot for my only subsite I get an error message

“Error on blog lookup. Try again.” (see screenshot)

Doesn’t matter if I enter /blog1 or /blog1/ I get the same error message.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

    Hey @Clive, hope you're doing well this evening! :slight_smile:

    This is definitely a curious issue, may I ask if there was a time where it was working properly? If so, what's changed since then?

    I get the feeling that this is going to require some deeper troubleshooting right off the bat, could you please send in the following via our contact form:

    – Mark to my attention, the subject line should contain only: ATTN: Michael Bissett

    – Do not include anything else in the subject line, doing so may delay our response due to how email filtering works.

    – Link back to this thread

    – Include WordPress network admin access details (login address, username & password)

    – Include FTP log-in details (hostname, username & password)

    – Include any relevant URLs for your site

    On the contact form (linked to below), please select "I have a different question", this ensures it comes through and gets assigned to me.

    Thanks! :slight_smile:

    Kind Regards,

    Michael

    Hey @Clive, thanks for your patience here! :slight_smile:

    Hmm… while looking at the code for Snapshot doesn’t give me any immediate clues as to why the path for this site would be displaying like this, I did find that if I entered the ID for the subsite into the lookup box, that it was able to find it without issue (you’ll now see a snapshot created inside of your site, that’s the test one that I made).

    Could you give that a try on your end, and seeing if it works? Multisites inside of a subfolders can pose problems for some plugins (especially Multisite specific plugins), as they’re designed to look at the root domain, mysite.com, rather than mysite.com/mysubfolder.

    Please advise,

    Michael

    Michael: thanks for looking at this. I was able to create snapshots using Blog ID instead of the path. Too obvious I guess, I didn’t try using Blog ID before posting.

    Next I’ll figure out how the Restore works, but that’s a separate issue for another time if I run into any issues. So this topic can be closed.

    Thanks for your help!

    thanks,
