Answers.Text: I'd be interested to know how they're doing this, Jon. Network-activating CiviCRM in WP multisite (sub-dirs) leads to all CiviCRM back-end URLs pointing to the CiviCRM back-end on the main site. Can you post an URL to the wiki page you're referring to?

In short though - you put a "switch" statement into civicrm.settings.php, and define your BASE_URL in the switch statement.

  Your page edit screen shows (I think) a URL of the form '<http://domain.ca/civicrm/wp-admin>...' whilst the 404 error is looking for '<http://domain.ca/wp-admin/admin.php>'. This suggests to me that you're using WordPress Multisite with CiviCRM active on a site that is not the main site. This is not supported at present - CiviCRM is only functional on the main site of a multisite instance.
  
  Edit: this URL schema could also be the result of installing CiviCRM in a sub-directory. This is also unsupported, though [it's an issue that's being addressed](https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/WordPress+installed+in+its+own+directory+issues).
