Replicate entire master blog (inc content) to subdomain, update Theme Options

  • Hi guys – have spent some time researching different solutions but am so stuck. Apologies for long post.

    I would like to create an online profile/portfolio using the 907 parallax theme (https://themeforest.net/item/907-responsive-wp-one-page-parallax/4087140). The idea is that ‘mydomain.com’ will be the master page, with my experience and skills etc, but I want to create a series of customised URLs for potential employers – ‘sub1.mydomain.com’ etc. Everything will be identical except for the header – this is updated in Theme Options. I would like to upload different pic and change text to be relevant to the position/company.

    At first i thought the answer was multisites – so set it up, downloaded a replicator plugin, and created ‘test.mydomain.com’ in both WP Network and web hosting. I had to do a fresh install of WP as the page was blank – using same logins but new database – and intended to simply 1) replicate theme and settings using plugin and 2) import content 3) customse header in Theme Options.

    However – didn’t have any of these options available to me. My theme did not come up as available, nor the plugins, nor any importer – even though everything was ‘network enabled’.

    So now I’m thinking it was the completely wrong approach; I am quite new to this, so if anyone can kindly help me achieve what I want to do above that would be FAB!!

  • I would try it a different way.

    I’d set up pages and have the “custom” URL’s would be like www.mysite.com/page1, www.mysite.com/page2, etc. That way you can check the page ID in your header.php file and make whatever changes you need for that page.

    If you’re really adventerous you can set up your own functions to add in the custom header image and text for each page, edit that in the admin area and display it on each page if it’ exists. It’s a bit more work but if you’ve got a bit of a grip of programming it’s not that hard.

    Definitely not adventurous haha!

    And maybe I am confused, but with my theme (link above if you want to check it out) I thought it was just continuous scrolling of all the pages. So page 1 appears directly above page 2, all on https://www.mysite.com. The header can only be changed at a theme level, not page level, so figured there would need to be a fresh install somewhere? But hey it may be a question for 907, if that is the best option! Thanks so much for your time ??

    You can change the header per-page. It’s a little bit of coding to do, but not that hard.

    As an example…

    <?php if (is_single () && $post->ID == 1234): //The ID value will be the ID of your page ?>
    <?php do_page_stuff (); ?>
<?php else: ?>
    <?php do_normal_stuff (); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
