Making an additional site

  • Hi,

    This is probably a super easy question if you know wordpress but I have been sitting here for ages trying to figure it out. How can I make an additional site using the wordpress platform and my login? It is not a subdomain just a new domain / site.

    Many thanks in advanced

    Christina

    Your current website on WordPress is self-hosted. This means unless you’re using the same database on the same hosting environment, you’re not not going to inherit login details.

    A new registered domain would be an Add-On at the server, and then the two installations could share users if you add the new tables within the same database and enable something like this in each wp-config, respectively:

    $table_prefix='wp1_';
define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp1_users');
define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp1_usermeta');
    $table_prefix='wp2_';
define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp1_users');
define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp1_usermeta');
