update network

When using the update network function it fails if you have a dashboard site installed.

    Hi kimmyco and welcome to WPMU DEV!

    I’m not quite sure what you mean by a “dashboard” site. Could you clarify what you mean by that?

    Also, you are referring the update network option for updating WordPress multisite itself, correct?

    Thanks!

    Sorry David, ok backing up a bit. I did the auto-network update to 3.1.2. While my main site functions imsnc.org the sub-site on my network /parentaccess no does not allow me to reach the dashboard say for updating themes or plugins. In the admin view if I select the dashboard of that site I get page not found and it redirects to the homepage.

    the subsite is or was a password protected site prior to the updated; using the Private! wordpess access control manager plugin. All worked great prior to update; after selecting the update network to WP 3.1.2 the following error message was received when trying to access the sub-site:Warning! Problem updating http://imsnc.org/parentaccess. Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: Maximum (5) redirects followed

    Now I can’t reach the dashboard page or any of the admin section for that sub-site specifically.

    running on godaddy. just checked with them to see if it was a server side issue. they confirmed it was not and somehow my files have changed causing this either in my .htaccess file or other. When renaming the .htaccess the subsite came up ‘page not found’.

    Hiya kimmyco,

    That’s an odd one. Are there any plugins specifically activated on that site? We might try deactivating and then running the network update again…

    You can do this by going into the database and finding the site’s options table. Something like wp_#_options. Then find the option_name ‘active_plugins’ and delete the option_value associated with this name.

    Now the site will have no plugins activated and you can try running the network update again. Beyond that I’m a bit baffled as well – but it’s almost assuredly a wayward plugin or a corrupted database entry for that site.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks!
