I have a case, is it possible for me to solve it using WP Multisite?

  • I am newbie here. I have a case. Let me tell the case first.

    I want to make a website that supports multisite. In that website, there will be some clients who must register first on the website to become a client. Once registered, clients have an access to create their own microsite that contains information about the products they sell. So in this website, it is not Admin who create the microsite. Then, each client will have their own subdomain. For example, the company named ‘ABC’ become a client in that website, then they will have a subdomain abc.mywebsite.com, ‘mywebsite’ is the name of the main website.

    Is it possible for me to create that website using WP Multisite? If so, I will explore this WP Multisite.
    Thank you.. Sorry if my post is too long.. ??

  • Yes, it could be bent and moulded into that kind of workflow.

    but emphasis on the bent, wordpress mu, works with subdomains as described, and it built to support people registering and creating their own sites just like wordpress.com becuase thats what it was build for wordpress.com.

    where you going to hit a wall (some actually work) is controlling who’s allowed to register and create a site and limiting them to one site each, i’m guessing that you don’t want just anybody to come along and register a site unlike wp.com

    Secondly each user will have a complete wordpress install with admin rights to it, so you’re going to have to lock that down, so that they can only do what you want them to within their own micro site. MU has some functionality to do that and you can do a lot more with a bespoke theme but you’re probably going to have to write a custom plugin to tailor it to your exact needs.

    Both are possible and several website i can think of do exactly that, but neither are tasks for a novice, if you’re not intimately familiar with theme development, plugin development and the wordpress code base my advice would be to seek professional help.
