    In ‘wp-config.php’, look for the table_prefix
    By default, it is ‘wp_’, so you can have
    wp1_
    wp2_
    secretblog_
    whatever_

    ‘wp1’ ; ‘wp2’ ; ‘etc’; ?

    is that correct?

    or else give me an example in editting

    That’s it.

    I have worked on databases for people where they have (for instance)

    wp_ as the table_prefix for their main blog
    secret_ as a private
    test_ as what it says

    Just alter the wp-config for each. WP tests anyway before installing so it won’t overwrite.

    and which url goes to each blog?

    (i mean .com/blog goes to the last one i created, how can i go to the others?)

    To install multiple blogs into the same database:

    1. Create a Directory per blog
    2. Alter the table_prefix for each blog in it’s own wp-config.php
    3. Upload
    4. Install by going to each URL

    So it’s okay for the main blog to be wp_? (I mean to ask this as the first one will not create any problems?) and then sequentially number others etc wp1_, wp2_ etc ?

    Then each new blog will be a complete file upload into it’s own directory(.com/blog , .com/blog1 , .com/blog2 etc), just the database name remains the same (for multiple blogs in only one db) with wp_ , wp1_ , wp2_, or bg4_ or mylongblogname_ etc as the table prefix ??

    Please pardon the redundancy of the question but my username sums this up succinctly

    Many thanks in advance for validation (or shootdown) of this
    newbie’s attempt at understanding

    What you describe will work perfectly ??
