Hello! This tutorial shows how to configure WordPress multisite.<\/p>\r\n

WordPress. How to configure multisite<\/a><\/p>\r\n

A WordPress multisite network allows you to run and manage multiple WordPress sites from a single WordPress installation. This means you can create new sites instantly and manage them using the same username and password.<\/p>\r\n

Let’s learn how to configure a WordPress multisite.<\/p>\r\n

First of all, you should enable WordPress Multisite Network<\/strong> feature.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Access your FTP\/hosting Control Panel File Manager and open wp-config.php<\/strong> file.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Add the following code to the file right before the \/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. *\/ line:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\/* Multisite *\/\r\ndefine( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
    \"wordpress_how_to_configure_multisite_1\"<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  3. \r\n
    Save the file and overwrite the existing file on the server.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    You have successfully enabled the Multisite Network<\/strong> feature on your WordPress site, now it’s time to set up your network.<\/p>\r\n
      \r\n
    1. \r\n
      First, deactivate all the plug-ins on your site via admin panel Plugins<\/strong> tab or manually via FTP.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
    2. \r\n
      Then, go to Tools ->Network Setup<\/strong> to configure your multisite network:<\/p>\r\n
      \"wordpress_how_to_configure_multisite_2\"<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
    3. \r\n
      On the appeared screen choose what kind of domain structure you will use for sites in your network, e.g. Subdomains<\/strong> or Sub-directories<\/strong>, provide a title for your Network and make sure that the email address in the Network Admin Email field is correct. Click “Install”<\/strong> button to continue:<\/p>\r\n

    4. \r\n
      Now, you should follow instructions on the appeared interface and add some rules to your wp-config.php<\/strong> and .htaccess<\/strong> files as instructed:<\/p>\r\n

      Once you complete these steps, your network is enabled and configured. You will have to log in again for changes to apply.<\/p>\r\n
      Now you have new tab at the top left of your WordPress dashboard called “My Sites”<\/strong>. From there, you may manage your sites, add new ones, configure network settings, etc.:<\/p>\r\n
      \"wordpress_how_to_configure_multisite_5\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
      In order to add new sites you should go to My Sites ->Network Admin ->Sites <\/strong>tab and click “Add New”<\/strong> button:<\/p>\r\n
      \"wordpress_how_to_configure_multisite_6\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
      On the appeared screen fill in “Site Address”<\/strong>, “Site Title”<\/strong> and “Admin Email”<\/strong> fields. You don’t need to type the full address of the site, just the part you want to use as subdomain or sub-directory, e.g. newsite<\/strong>:<\/p>\r\n
      \"wordpress_how_to_configure_multisite_6\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
      \r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
      Once you add new site(s), you may configure each site to your needs, add plug-ins, themes, etc. for each one separately.<\/p>\r\n
