All subdomain multisite

  • Hi,

    For a client we’re trying to create a website that has a non-WordPress landing page from which a visitor can pick one of two WordPress sites. Both sites should have their own (virtual) folder so: domain.com/siteforuserA and domain.com/siteforuserB. Preferably we’d not install WordPress twice, so we’re trying to use the multisite method, but we cannot get it so that both WP-sites are in (virtual) folders of their own and the root just contains our HTML index file. Seems like multisite always wants to have one of the WP-sites as root?

    Is this possible with multisite and if so, how?

    N.B. we use this split situation because we want to provide two types of customers with very different information and resemble that in the url as well.

    domain.com/siteforuserA and domain.com/siteforuserB

    Those are sub FOLDERS.

    Subdomains are siteforuserA.domain.com

    It matters ??

    Yes.

    1) Install WordPress at domain.com
    2) Activate Multisite
    3) Pick SubFolders
    4) Done

    Seriously. It does the rest for you with .htaccess magic ??

    Thanks for the reply Mika.

    I think that when I do what you propose, I will get either get wordpress in the root (what I don’t want) or when I start with a wordpress in a subfolder, I will end up with domain.com/siteforuserA/siteforeuserB… Or am I missing something?

    Paauw, why does your landing page have to be a non-WP site? Why can’t it be a simple, one-page WP site? Then each of your two options could be subsites…
