Answers.Text: Perfect. Thank you very much. What's stupid is I had already used the site parameter on an entries query on the template, but for some reason I thought it was a totally different thing when dealing with fields.

Body: <p>Thought I'd run this by some people who know what they're doing before I report this as a bug.</p>
  
  <p>I have a multi-site configuration. One of the sites has a base URL of <code>example.com</code> and only contains one single (we'll call this one-page site "Homepage"), whereas the other 6 sites have base URLs of <code>example.com/site</code> and contain multiple pages each. By this arrangement, these 6 sites are basically children of the Homepage.</p>
  
  <p>I created another single "Landing" which is the front page for each of the children sites. It is not made "available" to the Homepage site. Each of the sites have their own title and content for each of their Landings, even though it is a single section that is shared between them.</p>
  
  <p>Now here comes the problem. On the Homepage I need to have a grid that contains links to each of the other sites' Landing pages. I could have done this with an entries loop on the template, but the client actually needs to have control over which ones are visible in the grid. So I set up an Entries field on the Homepage section, and fashioned it so that its only options are Landing pages.</p>
  
  <p>Now when I go to the Homepage entry and choose my entries, it successfully shows me the Landing pages from each site (I have to select the site from the dropdown to see each one) and can successfully select them. But when I try to access the field on the template it breaks.</p>
  
  <p>This is my template code (the field in question "page" is in a Matrix "navGrid"):</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% for item in entry.navGrid %}
    &lt;a href="{{ item.page.one().url }}"&gt;{{ item.page.one().title }}&lt;/a&gt;
  {% endfor %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me the error <code>Impossible to access an attribute ("url") on a null variable.</code></p>
  
  <p>When I tried removing the <code>.one()</code>, I got the error <code>Calling unknown method: craft\elements\db\EntryQuery::url()</code></p>
  
  <p>And when I also removed the <code>.url</code> (and just ran <code>{{ item.page }}</code>), I got this nasty wad:</p>

Title: Possible bug when using Entries fieldtype with multi-site
ThreadText: # Possible bug when using Entries fieldtype with multi-site
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-03-11)
  
  Thought I'd run this by some people who know what they're doing before I report this as a bug.
  
  I have a multi-site configuration. One of the sites has a base URL of `example.com` and only contains one single (we'll call this one-page site "Homepage"), whereas the other 6 sites have base URLs of `example.com/site` and contain multiple pages each. By this arrangement, these 6 sites are basically children of the Homepage.
  
  I created another single "Landing" which is the front page for each of the children sites. It is not made "available" to the Homepage site. Each of the sites have their own title and content for each of their Landings, even though it is a single section that is shared between them.
  
  Now here comes the problem. On the Homepage I need to have a grid that contains links to each of the other sites' Landing pages. I could have done this with an entries loop on the template, but the client actually needs to have control over which ones are visible in the grid. So I set up an Entries field on the Homepage section, and fashioned it so that its only options are Landing pages.
  
  Now when I go to the Homepage entry and choose my entries, it successfully shows me the Landing pages from each site (I have to select the site from the dropdown to see each one) and can successfully select them. But when I try to access the field on the template it breaks.
  
  This is my template code (the field in question "page" is in a Matrix "navGrid"):
  
  ```
  {% for item in entry.navGrid %}
    <a href="{{ item.page.one().url }}">{{ item.page.one().title }}</a>
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
  
  This gives me the error `Impossible to access an attribute ("url") on a null variable.`
  
  When I tried removing the `.one()`, I got the error `Calling unknown method: craft\elements\db\EntryQuery::url()`
  
  And when I also removed the `.url` (and just ran `{{ item.page }}`), I got this nasty wad:
  
  ```

  In order to fetch cross-site entries in element queries you'll need to specify the `site` parameter, otherwise it'll default to the current site only: <https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/dev/element-queries/entry-queries.html#site>
  
  E.g.
  
  ```
  {% for item in entry.navGrid.all() %}
     {% set page = item.page.site('*')|length ? item.page.site('*').one() %}
     <a href="{{ page.url }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
