Assigning subsites

Hi – sorry if this is a basic question but I have searched around all morning and can’t figure out the answer.

I have installed the plugin and commented the line out of wp-config and have 2 networks. I am using subfolders not subdomains for my multisite.

One of them appeared automatically it seems when I activated the plugin – which is fine. It has two sites. I can access the dashboard of both sites.

The other network I added. I let the plugin create a root site. I then added a new site in the standard WordPress MU way and then assigned it to the new network. I can access the dashboard for the site the plugin created but I cannot access the dashboard for the one I assigned to it. The only way I seem to be able to get to the dashboard for it is to take the name of the other site out of the URL.

EG. the site url is http://mysite.com/
the network site is http://mysite.com/parent_site/ – I can get to the dashboard of this one
the subsite is http://mysite.com/parent_site/child_site – this returns a 404 for the dashboard.
but I can access it using http://mysite.com/child_site/wp-admin

any advice would be amazing. I guess this is a server redirect thing…? I am using cPanel.

Thanks very much! I am really excited if I can get this thing to work!!
