Hi.. @skysky

you can try these steps:

• Log in to your subsite’s WordPress dashboard.
• Go to “Settings” > “General.”
• Update WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL): Change both the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” to include the “www” prefix. For example:
  WordPress Address (URL): https://www.mydomain.com
  Site Address (URL): https://www.mydomain.com
  Save the changes.
• Check your .htaccess file for this code:
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
• Check WordPress Plugins: Some plugins might interfere with URL settings and redirection. Temporarily deactivate any URL-related or redirection plugins you have installed and see if the issue persists.
• Clear Browser Cache.
• Check Server Configuration.
