How do I change the Multisite URL?

by

The links in the navbar menu, in (My sites > Manage the network) are pointing (and keep redirecting) to incorrect URLs.

The incorrect URLs are in this pattern:

https://https//www.domain.com/wp-admin/network/
https://https//www.domain.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php
https://https//www.domain.com/wp-admin/network/settings.php

Even if I manually entered the correct URL without the repeated https, I am redirected to the wrong URL again.

It seems that https//www is set somewhere instead of https://www, I can’t find where.

Places that I have looked and they were OK:

  • wp-config.php (DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE)
  • .htaccess
  • site table (domain only, with www but not https or /)
  • options table (situeurl and home)
  • sitemeta table

I haven’t updated any of the above-mentioned. They were OK. (So not cache issue)

I tried the Search option of my phpMyAdmin using https//www but didn’t return any match.

Where else should I look?

There are 5 values need to change.
From database.

wp_options: options named “siteurl” and “home”

wp_site

wp_sitemeta: the option named “siteurl”

wp_blogs: any entries in the “domains” column that have the old domain name

wp_#_options: Each sub-site will have sets of tables that correspond to the blog_id in the wp_blogs table. You need to go to the wp_#_options table, where # corresponds to the blog_id, and update the “siteurl” and “home” settings in that table.

Note: In most cases, you may/will need to update an entry in your WP-Config.php file. The code I would recommend taking a look at is the code snippet here:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/";
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'mysite.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
