Use same prefix database for two versions of WordPress

  • Hi,

    I want to create two interfaces for the same site using the same database with same prefix (same site/data) but different plugins. The problem is that only one URL can be added so I am not able to set up. I want it for security reasons – first instance for customers/public and second instance for a specific plugin that would be used by a specific person only.

    In other words two interfaces of same site but on different URLs using the same data in the same prefix tables wp_ for example.

    Is that possible by any chance?

  • No, it’s not possible that way. One site, one prefix, same plugins.

    There might be a way to enable plugins for individual users or roles, but i haven’t been able to find anything with a quick search. Maybe someone that knows more about that side of things can help if there is a way.

    What do you want to restrict? Maybe there’s a better way of doing it then the way that you’re thinking of.

    @catacaustic So my site has a POS plugin installed and I would rather have it available only to admin by having a completely separate install so no one can get in even remotely.

    @noritatait are you suggesting separate tables using different prefixes? I want to have access to same data/content but different interface to separate set of plugins.
