Invalid Site ID. and Not able to manage child site

It seems I am having an issue adding a child site. I am able to connect to the child site and it will add the site to the dashboard, however it will not allow me to see the child site overview page (it forwards me to the main overview page for all of the sites).

I also am seeing an issue with UpdraftPlus… when I go to try and do a backup for that particular site, I get an error saying “Invalid Site ID.”

So further investigation, I went into the Database to lookup the mainwp_wp table to look at the “ID” for the child site, and it was listed as “0”.

Does anyone have a clue why I am having an issue adding this Child Site to the dashboard?

Hi @shadowmaxss, I have never seen this problem before, however, as per the problem description it makes me think that site ID value is not generated properly at the moment you connected the site. Please try to remove your site from your MainWP Dashboard and try to re-add it.

@shadowmaxss are you still in need of assistance?

I’ve removed the Site and re-added the Site several times in the Dashboard. It still applies the ID of zero in the DB, adds the site to the list, but does not allow me to access it or perform anything to the Site.

Hi @shadowmaxss, do you see any recent error in the MainWP > Status > Error Log page?

Thank you for the assistance, but no, I am not receiving any errors.

Can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard in a GitHub gist or Pastebin for review? Be sure to use this button it hides your private information:

Hi @shadowmaxss, thanks for the update. I reviewed the reports, but nothing unusual in there that would point me in some direction.

However, I made a research and found that sometimes the AUTO_INCREMENT can file in database if database table is corrupted so it always assigns value 0. In some cases, this can be fixed by repairing the database table. If you would like to try, please make the database backup first and after that, please try to repair the wp_mainwp_wp database table via phpMyAdmin.

If you are not comfortable with doing this, please feel free to open a helpdesk ticket and send us WP Admin, SFTP/FTP and if possible cPanel access to your MainWP Dashboard site so we can check this further.
