is there a way to do this in word press so that site have there unique url and different template for example one is news.com/africa and the other one is tv.com/africa.

I’ve been using WordPress for years but have never looked at (nor needed) Multisite.

However, I think it may be the answer now.

I have a client that asked me to build them a WP blog to bolt on to their site. It is currently sat at www.theirdomain.com/blog. They have now asked me to develop a mobile version to sit at m.theirdomain.com/blog as part of their existing mobile site (I know that the site should ideally be fully responsive but that’s not a possibility right now).

So my question is this – can I use Multisite to create the m. and www. sites side-by-side and share plugins and content? I am a little unclear as to how distinct the site entities are within Multisite.

I’ve also looked at the Broadcast plugin but I think that having a totally separate install for the m. site might lead to licensing issues for premium/paid plugins that the client is using.

I’m trying to avoid them having to insert content twice.

Any advice is gratefully received!

I’m using last version of starbox and shareholic plugin.
I’m publishing starbox in posts, and I have the problem the related articles showed by shareholic are above the starbox plugin.
So, is there a way to publish starbox above shareholic related contents?

Thank you.

Some considerations here:
Yes, I did search. I found a number of similar questions, only they were critically different (same content, different branding on live sites, etc. All received “DON”T DILUTE YOUR BRAND” replies. Does not apply, I promise – The multiple sites are ONLY for development purposes).

It is a website for a nonprofit, very much not a blog.

I need to be able to switch between different themes when showing it to them… without taking the time to load and unload plugins or edit a bunch of customization fields.

It really does not matter during this period if the URLs are simply IP addresses, subdomains, subfolders, etc. (Subdomains would be my preference. It will all be pruned down anyhow)

I do not have a stable set of content that can simply be cloned once for each new theme I want to try. The new content will come in a wide enough variety of forms that I will need to make some new, currently unspecified types of page templates. (Event calendar, document library, photo galleries, software downloads, biographical pages, online CVs, pages highlighting the equipment… )

I have multisite set up on my linux laptop. I’ll export the final site, or what will become the basis of it, once this is done. In other words, I’m not worried if using multisite on the final site would be a bad idea, I’m looking at the development period only wrt these issues.

I’m doing all the development on my home computer.

Is multisite the right way to go?

I see site cloning plugins, is there a better way that either keeps them synced or all draw from the same sources? SQL wise it would be easy but I am new to wordpress. Is there something else I should consider?

Thank you!

case 1: i have one.com, which has the network : one.com/two
but whenever someone types three.com they’ll go to one.com/two

from what i believe, it is possible.
for add-on domain i just need to make add on domain installed and have subdomain has document root where the files of one.com/two are, right?

case 2: there are two different hosting: mysite.com and myfriendssite.com, we want to share post type blog. can they have multisite network for this post type blog?

anything is helpful and appreciated…

I need to do 1 of the following in order of importance:

1. Allow each site access to a catalog (custom post type likely) to add and edit items. The full catalog has to be displayed on each website.
2. Allow 1 website the ability to add items to the catalog, but all 7 sites should be able to display it without having to go to primary site.

I doesn’t seem impossible since they’re sharing a db. But all the plugins I’ve read about don’t work with the latest WordPress. Any suggestions? a plugin or even a nice code tutorial would rock!

For example, if I have a post on a website about an event it generally includes: Title, Image, and description. But when I click on the “Facebook share” icon your plugging provides, it shows the Post’s title and description, but no image. Where’s the image? And how can I get that on there?

Plain texts is boring, it’s the image that attracts attention.

I have been using Joomla for a long time for our website jetsgym.com.au

I am looking to change to wordpress as it is way easier to use and seems to do just as much if not more..

before I change I want to find out if what I am thinking is possible. I would like to have 5 different websites (for each of our locations) that share content (eg. pages, images). Then I would like a selector (maybe postcode) that directs visitors to on of the 5 pages.

The key would be if I make a change to a page it could be shared among the 5 location sites.

Hope that makes sense, thanks for your help

I’m about to start a new project which will have a master domain with a number of sub-domains. For this project I will have some content that is specific to the master domain only; some that is specific to specific sub domains; and some that will be shared across sub domain and master domain.

Should I make a separate installation of WordPress for each sub domain; or can a single installation handle this. If the latter how do I go about it?
