Content develpoment and domain mapping

    In Multisite setup, on which site/domain is the content and customization development done?

    This is what we need:
    The basic structure (page/post designs, categories, etc etc) for all sites is done on the primary domain (e.g. primary.com). Other sites are sub-domains on the server. End-users will interact from independent domains (which must function as if totally independently; allow users to delete, add, etc).

    This what we think should happen (but we’re not sure):
    1. Basic structure (page/post designs, categories, etc etc) for all sites is done on the primary domain (e.g. primary.com)
    2. Map sub-domain to “independent domain” e.g.:
    sub.non-primary.com –> mapped to: anotherdomain.com
    3. Cloned/duplicate the basic structure of primary domain to sub.non-primary.com
    4. Customization of content to be done on sub.non-primary.com
    4. Users log in on anotherdomain.com – oblivious to sub.non-primary.com

    Is this what should happen?
    Please advise
    Thanks

    You can map any domain you own to any multisite site. Every site is its own stand alone site. Its content is completely independent from any others, saved in its own tables (but all the same DB). The one exception are users, all multisite users are kept in one table and are largely managed at the network admin level. However, some user management can still be done through the various sites.

    It’s also possible with custom coding for one site to query data from another site, but this is not the norm.

    Each site can have the same structure, but it would be done manually, one site cannot normally inherit the structure from another.

    Thanks a lot. That makes it very clear.
