Because not new WP Install, must use subdomains

  • I added the/* Multisite */
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); to the wp-config.php file and the Network Setup option is within my Tools panel in the Admin.

    It asks to deactivate all plugins, which I did before when I first attempted a few weeks back.

    Once all are deactivated, I returned to the Network Setup and there was this message:

    Because your install is not new, the sites in your WordPress network must use sub-domains. The main site in a sub-directory install will need to use a modified permalink structure, potentially breaking existing links.

    Do you have any idea what this means? What exisiting links are they referring to? My Blog posts?

    Don’t want to lose any data, however if worse comes to worse I can always just save all the content to my local computer and re-upload again.

    Should I just re-install WordPress?

    If you have any advice on how to move forward, that would be great.
