I've a WordPress installation that I've transformed into a multisite network. I'm using cPanel and I've followed all the instructions to configure the WordPress installation. I've set up the subdomains mode, so for every new website I need to create a subdomain using cPanel of my shared hosting provider.
The problem is that I get a 403 error every time I try to access to a subdomain website. How I can fix this and is the .htaccess code correct?
NB: every subdomain has it's own directory on the server when it's created, so for example, if in the cPanel I set the mysite.example.com as a subdomain, the relative directory will be created in the root of the server, with the name of mysite.example.com. I've read that the subdomains must point to the main WordPress installation directory. I've also setup the wildcard, but without success.
Here is the .htaccess code.
# BEGIN Custom <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options All -Indexes Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R=301,L] </IfModule> <IfModule mod_headers.c> #Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" Header set X-Content-Type-Options nosniff Header set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" Header edit Set-Cookie ^(.*)$ $1;HttpOnly;Secure Header unset X-Powered-By Header unset X-Pingback Header unset SERVER </IfModule> <FilesMatch "(^\.|wp-config(-sample)*\.php)"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all </FilesMatch> # END Custom # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress wp-config.php code
