connect two wordpress sites

  • Hi,
    I like to create subdomain or sub-directory (whichever has the property I will explain) in my WordPress site. The property I like to have is that, I could connect profile of users such that register in one of them they could also have access to their profile in other. Let me explain a little bit more.
    Assume you have a website “example.com” and you have WooCommerce (for instance) installed on it. A customer registers on this site and creates his/her profile.
    Now I want to have a section such as “support” (support.example.com or example.com/support), with related menus and contents which are different from original site.
    I In this section (subdomain or sub-directory), I need to not bother the customer to register again from the beginning. I like the customer can access his profile inside the “support” section.
    Now my question is that

    1-Is it possible to have such property which I explained above?
    2-If it is possible, which one is more correct, via subdomain or sub-directory?
    3-Is there a better way than subdomain or sub-directory?

    Thanks.

  • The first thing to think about is – does this actually need to be two seperate sites? If it was me, I would keep things as a single site, and have aidfferent layout for the support section (if that’s even needed).

    If you really do need it to be separete sites, you can either set up a Network, or use one of the many SSO (or similar) plugins that are available.

    thanks @catacaustic, in SSO plugin you mentioned, one web site should be the main IdP and the others like a SP.
    I need that if someone registered in one of them, then he also can login to other, plus if he/she is inside the same browser then he/she does not need to be asked to enter those login information again in both direction, I mean if he/she register inside subdomain (sub-directory) then he/she can go to his profile in the main site and vice versa.
    Is it possible to do this with SSO plugin?

    That depends on the plugin. I didn’t link to one, but a list of ones that are available in the plugins section of this site. There are other commercial (paid) ones out there as well, so you’ll have to do some reaserch on what each one does, and doesn’t, offer to make up your mind.
