When setting up WordPress for MultiSite, the EE tutorials mention a:
$base = '/';
...in their code sample (Example: https://easyengine.io/wordpress-nginx/tutorials/multisite/create-a-network/). See images below:
...and...
However, I see no such code in the "Settings > Network Setup" area. See image below:
Two questions:
What does
$base = '/';do?Why is it in the code from EE, but not in the code recommended by WordPress itself?
