Registering to several WordPress installations once

yes, you can do that.

Using your example, Consider this scenario:

Lets # each WP install:

main = 1
gaming = 2
technology = 3

each install will have their own prefix. the prefix is set inside each install’s wp-config.php:

$table_prefix = '21_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

so lets do that:

#1’s prefix can be main_
#2’s prefix can be gaming_
#3’s prefix can be tech_

You can now install ALL three wordpress’ into the same database, however theyre all using different tables since they have different prefixes.

Assuming you want #2 and #3 to use #1 user table you do this:

Go into their wp-setting.php file and locate this line:

$wpdb->users = $wpdb->prefix . 'users';

and change that to read:

$wpdb->users = 'main_' . 'users';

You know have three installs that share ONLY 1 table : the user table.

The content, etc.. is all seperate.

It’s probably much simpler to use multiuser WP, but you asked if it was possible.

The only glitch in the above scenario might be the cookies.

Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like it may work out. However, you mentioned the “multiuser WP,” what exactly is that?

Is there a way to install it without losing all of the posts and such I have right now?

When you say this part:

$table_prefix = ’21_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

so lets do that:

#1’s prefix can be main_
#2’s prefix can be gaming_
#3’s prefix can be tech_

Am I supposed to change the part where it has the ’21_’; to ‘main_’; and then ‘gaming_’; and ‘tech_’; for each individual file? When I went to the files, where the 21 was, it had wp. I went to change it for the main one, but when I refreshed the site, it said that it didn’t look like I had WP installed. Then I quickly switched it back to wp and it’s fine again.

I’m just a little confused.
