As per #3036890: Simplify subdir site installation, we should be able to migrate subdirectory sites (e.g. example.com/site1) and maintain the user-friendliness of the subdirectory alias being presented as the site name. However, this isn't currently working.

After a migration completes, the resulting site name is the internal name (e.g. site.example.com), and the alias is lost.

Workaround

  • Edit the site.
  • Re-add the alias.
  • Save the form.
  • Edit the site again.
  • Set all redirects to go to the just-added subdirectory alias.

All will be as it was before.

An alternative workaround would be renaming the site, but that doesn't work: #3068259: Cannot rename non-subdirectory site to subdirectory site.
