WordPress Subdomain admin URL redirecting to main site

Posted on July 8, 2020

Hello - I’m experiencing an issue with a WordPress site that I’d like to understand and fix.

I have a droplet that hosts two WordPress sites, my main site, as well as a client review site on a subdomain (ex: www.abc.com, and clientdev.abc.com). The droplet was created with the standard Digital Ocean Marketplace 1-Click app, and the subdomain site was added by me later. Both sites seem to work fine, however, I noticed yesterday that when I browse to clientdev.abc.com/wp-admin (the standard WP admin login interface), I’m redirected to www.abc.com/wp-admin. Of course the easy work-around is to simply use the full path to the login page (clientdev.abc.com/wp-login.php), but I’m new to managing an apache server and would like to understand why this is happening.

Any assistance appreciated!
