wp 5 beta multisite

Hello carpconnect,

Yes, multisite works on all modern versions of WordPress, including beta.

The easiest way that I enable WordPress is by using a Managed WordPress Host. They usually have a checkbox in the Control Panel that converts a Single Install to a MultiSite. It’s pretty cool! The same feature reverts MultiSites to Single Installs.

Hope something I said I was helpful.

Have a great day!

Multisite works fine on WP 5.0 betas. But what ‘wp-settings.php’ file are you editing? You’re supposed to edit wp-config.php

Thanks for replies,

i already have muiltisite (v4) running on server, but wanted to test out V5.

wp-settings.php

/**
 * Used to set up and fix common variables and include
 * the WordPress procedural and class library.
 *
 * Allows for some configuration in wp-config.php (see default-constants.php)

// Initialize multisite if enabled.
if ( is_multisite() ) {
	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-site-query.php' );
	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-network-query.php' );
	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/ms-blogs.php' );
	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/ms-settings.php' );
} elseif ( ! defined( 'MULTISITE' ) ) {
	define( 'MULTISITE', false );
}

So question is, does setting up multisite change in WP V5?

Do just set this to ‘true’? or do you still need to edit wp-config.php and .htaccess files?

thanks

Oh that’s not Multisite. Rather, that’s not NORMAL multisite. At all.

You never edit wp-settings.php for any of this. You just edit wp-config.

I’m using Multisite and the 5.0 beta right now and it’s just peachy, so you’ve done something uniquely weird.

Marking resolved due to no reply in 5 days, and no one else can reproduce this issue.
