Language Multisite with further sub-directories

  • Hi All,

    I would like to create a language multisite that can accommodate further subdirectories. So, for example:

    • John wants to write about growing apples, in English, and would do this at: https://www.website.com/en/apples
    • Hugo, on the other hand, wants to write about his hometown of Lyon, in French, and would write at: https://www.website.com/fr/lyon

    It would be great if both John and Hugo could style their websites as they wished or at least have their own logos/ brand identity.

    Does anyone know if this possible? If so, what is the best way of setting it up?

    Thanks,

    Grant

  • In this case, since there’s no relationship between /en/apples and /fr/lyron (from a content perspective), they are simply different pages… and you don’t need a translation or multilingual plugin to mediate between them.

    And as you also want different branding and design — while still working with a single WordPress installation — then that’s a perfect case for the WordPress Multisite Network feature.

    • Install the network at example.com.
    • Create a subsite for John at example.com/en/
    • Create another subsite for Hugo at example.com/fr/

    Note that, while they run off a single WordPress installation, the subsites are full-blown WordPress sites: each can run a different theme, different sets of plugins, and have totally independent pages and site configurations. If you like, you can even give them independent domain names (maybe run the “en” one at just example.com, and the “fr” one at example.fr).

    Please have a look at the WordPress Multisite Network documentation:

    Thanks for the quick reply, @gappiah! I realise that I need to take it a step further… What if John wants to write about apples on https://www.website.com/en/apples and Cara wants to write about oranges on the same site, at:https://www.website.com/en/oranges? Could they have different styling as well? I.e. could they have their own mini website?
