Rules displayed for .htaccess in the wordpress textarea of the network page are: {{{ RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) c:\wamp\www\multitest/$2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ c:\wamp\www\multitest/$2 [L] }}} Result in the browser window of a subsite admin board is an error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /multitest/C:wampwwwmultitest/wp-admin/ on this server. For the subsite itself, at least paths for css are broken. RewriteRules should be: {{{ RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) /multitest/$2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ /multitest/$2 [L] }}} Looking at code source in network.php, I fixed it for my personal use by adding: $rewrite_base = $base; before the htaccess code is displayed to users. This could be done with local multisite installation only. " defect (bug) closed normal 3.5.1 Multisite 3.5 normal fixed has-patch needs-testing needs-unit-tests
