    Hi all. I have recently been creating a few websites, but then I realised they didn’t all need their own domain names and could work just as well coming off from a single website. I have a website that has a particular theme and is set out how I would like it. How would I add this website to a sub domain without having to change the appearance of the main website or lose the settings on the other website? Can this be done? I am using 123Reg for all my domains.

    Just go to your hosting. Add a subdomain. It usually will create a folder in your FTP with the same name. ex: sub.domain.com will result in a folder called “sub”.
    If it’s an existing site: before moving your files into there go to your wp-admin and go to Settings > General and update your site and url addresses to match the new one. Then move your wordpress files into the new directory.
    IIRC thats all you should need to do.
    If its a new site: just setup like you normally would.
