Wordpress Multisite Subdomain 404

I have created a multisite wordpress with subdomains (hosting is Bluehost). Everytime I try to access the subdomains (test.example.com) I get a 404 error message. I copied the code to wp-config and .htaccess. I created a wildcard subdomain (*.example.com) and creates a folder in my public_html . Do I have to make changes to DNS records and what are those?

Can't login to Wordpress admin panel after changing domain to use Wordpress pages as a fallback from React

we had our Wordpress page running on example.com. But now, we're developing new React website, which already has some of the webpages ready. We use Vercel to host that React website. We want React/Vercel to host specific pages (which are already developed) and serve the wordpress page as a fallback. E.g.: React already has page example.com/pageA ready, so we want that URL to be served directly by Vercel/React. On the other hand, React doesn't has page example.com/pageB ready, so we …

Login problems on multisite installation with different domains

I have a subdomain multisite installation in site.com, with subsites such as sub1.site.com, sub2.site.com etc. I needed to transfer one of these sites to an own domain, sub1.com. So I changed the domain value from sub1.site.com to sub1.com on the network admin panel and at first it seemed to be working. However, I was not able to log in to the admin panel on the transferred site at sub1.com/wp-login.php. No error messages, but returned on the same page every time. …

Multisite has SSL certificate, but media library is still http://

Our multisite WordPress installation has a URL of https://xx.com for the main domain, and - for example, https://yy.xx.com as a subsite. We're using WP's in-built domain mapping feature. Media library links are still showing up as http://xx though, so any images used on the subdomains are flagged up as insecure. Only one subdomain - our most recent one - has media library links with a structure https://zz.xx.com. It's possible that the SSL certificate was installed after the other subdomains were …

How To Call WP_Query From A Subdomain?

I have a PHP script running in WordPress, that uses a WP_Query to get the posts from one of my subdomains and return it as a JSON string.

How can I call a single script that will get data from a subdomain, …
