If you follow this blog, you may have seen a series of my posts on WordPress multisite a few weeks ago. Not to mention comments, questions, and discussions generated by posts. We discussed what dozens of people did on multiple sites, shared experiences, and asked them. There is another question that is particularly applicable to other readers, or continue to be raised. So in this article, I want to answer those questions. When I publish on word press and word camp, I will answer questions about multisite, questions published on my blog, and questions that I have thought about but have no place in writing. For processing in my blog post. The
I will organize this into six themes. Activate and install multi site business and SEO hosting and creating domain network management site community so I want to come here! Activation and installation question 1: can my local computer run multiple sites? You can do it. As with stand-alone installation, use map to install word press, and then activate multisite as on a remote server. There is one difference. The subdomain is not available on the local computer. Use map to install WordPress and enable multisite on the local system. Question 2: can you enable multisite without editing the file? I feel uncomfortable drilling code. Sorry, No. Multisite is a fundamental change to word press installation, which can be completed only by plug-ins. However, very clear file editing instructions are provided when the activation process is performed. The
Problem \3: can’t access my file. How to set up multiple sites? Contact your hosting provider to request access. Otherwise, upgrade your program or switch to a better provider. That’s your website. You should be able to access your files. Question \4: each site in my network has its own. Is there an htaccess file? No. There is only one network in the root directory. Hosting and domain question 5: do you need VPS (virtual private server) to run multiple sites? My hosting provider said I should take it. If you set up a network, VPS may be helpful, but it is not necessary. For me, it depends on the size of the network and the purpose of using it. For client sites, VPS minimizes the risk of downtime, but is not required in small personal networks. If not, do not let the hosting provider sell. You can upgrade at any time in the future. The
Question \6: can you tell me what the multi site hosting provider suggests and how this differs from a single WordPress installation? I am not a trusteeship expert. I always recommend trusteeship providers. But from our blog, Daniel Pataki has made excellent comments on hosting providers, and WordPress Codex is also worth seeing. The only way I recommend is to remember the fact that you can get as much as you give. Ensure that the hosting provider grants full access to DNS Management, cPanel, and restrict users in any way. And they got a lot of support! The
Question 7: can multiple sites use SSL? What should I do? There are two ways. Obtain an SSL certificate for the network domain or a certificate redirected to all domains of the network using domain mapping. If you receive SSL for a network domain and use a subdomain, the wildcard will be slightly more expensive
Card SSL is required. Please order an SSL certificate from your SSL provider instead of a standard SSL certificate. If you use subdirectories, you do not need wildcard SSL. Also, if you use domain mapping, each mapped domain requires an SSL Certificate (not a network domain because it is not visible to visitors). The
Network management problem \8: how does the plug-in work on multiple sites? Do I need to install two or more times on multiple sites? No. Install the plug-in once on the network, and then activate the site to run. Or, to run on all sites, enable on the network. Then, if the plug-in is updated, it only needs to be executed once. Faster updates. Use the multi site network to update the plug-ins of all websites on the network in one place. Question 9: my main concern is resources. Multi site \
Question \10: when you log in as a network administrator, the sites in my network will not be displayed in the \
On a website that cannot be seen in the \
Problem \12: the domain mapping is set, but the domain will not be redirected to my network. help The first thing to do is to be patient. DNS changes take time to propagate and will not take effect immediately. Please continue to check DNS for confirmation. However, if the domain is not redirected after a few days, configuration problems may occur. Please retry the steps in the post about domain mapping. I can work every time, so I will work for you. If all other methods fail, contact your domain registrar or hosting provider. The DNS checker helps identify when DNS change propagation and domain mapping should work. Site creation problem \13: can I provide a startup template for a new site on the network with a specific page set? Yes, you can do this using the new blog template plug-in. For instructions on using the plug-in, refer to this guide. The
Question \14: some sites in my network use subdomains while others
Are subdirectories available? No, sorry. When setting up a network, you must select one and it will stick together forever (for example, until the end of time…). Question \15: do all sites on my network need to run subtopics? Or the same theme? No, you can run the desired theme on the site. Some of them can run the same theme, some can have their own theme, and others can have sub themes. For my client sites, all sites use a parent theme, and each site has its own sub theme. But for my personal network, they are much more mixed. Some have standalone themes I built, some have wpmu dev or theme directories, and others have sub themes above. It’s up to you! The
Question \16: if someone performs a search on the site of my network, will the results show the contents of the entire network? No. Search only applies to this site. Question \17: if you register a new site and follow the activation link sent via my email, a 404 error will appear. Is there anything wrong? Please check whether the htaccess rule is correct. You can find it in network settings on the network management screen. If you are using a subdomain installation, make sure that wildcards are set. Male problematic situation. You can relocate the rules that must exist in the htaccess file. Question \18: can a single site be imported into a multi site network? Yes, you can. You can use plug-ins or copy files and database tables to do this. The first option is simpler, but less powerful. Follow the instructions in this tutorial. Question \19: can you export a site on the network as an independent site? You can do it. Similar to income, but opposite. Follow this guide for instructions. Multi site community problem \20: my primary site uses membership 2 pro to restrict access to buddypress and bbpress communities. I wonder if this is too much. I want to provide a \
