Second WP theme on subdomain?

  • Hey guys! So I have a website for my small business, which is a service-based business.

    I’m adding a branch to sell physical goods, and want to build a separate WooCommerce site for these, but under the same domain as my service based business. So my main site would be BUSINESSNAME.com and just be a normal site, while I would use a subdomain like store.BUSINESSNAME.com to sell stickers and whatnot.

    Is there a way to install a separate theme on store.BUSINESSNAME.com, or even the same theme but with different content? I may change the color scheme and logo slightly for the store site, and will of course have woocommerce buttons like “Account”, “Cart”, etc that will not be on the main business site.

    I’m pretty familiar with WordPress in general, but this is one area that I’m unfamiliar with and haven’t found much info on.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • I would put store.BUSINESSNAME.com’s site in a sub folder on your server as a separate website entirely.

    Like if your BUSINESSNAME.com is in the /home folder (the main access folder)

    put your store.BUSINESSNAME.com site in /home/store folder

    upload the WordPress files there

    point the domain store.BUSINESSNAME.com to folder /home/store

    run the WordPress 5-minute setup

    then continue to set up your store on a separate WordPress installation

    It will be much easier this way.

    Cheers –
