So far I have a multisite installation working properly using two sub-folders (/en and /fr) for their respective english and french versions. Each uses its own child template of the Twenty Twenty-Four Theme.
In the original html website I added code to the .htaccess file to redirect visitors to the appropriate sub folder based on their browser language. Can the WordPress multisite’s .htaccess file be used to do something similar?
I tried copying and pasting the same code used on the old static site below the multisite “WordPress” code in the .htaccess file, but it doesn’t appear to work (didn’t break anything either).
As the “/en” and “/fr” folders are dynamically created by WP I’m thinking that an htaccess redirect based on the visitor’s browser language might not be possible.
Is there a recommended way to do this (other than pay $$ for a plugin)?
Thank you for any advice.

]]>Is there any problem/danger in creating folder(s) within the root of the WordPress site to deliver old HTML content that I don’t what/need to recreate with WordPress?
If I create www.mywebsite.com/oldhtml/somepage.htm could that damage the WordPress installation? I just tried it with my testing site and it seems to work fine. But I wonder if a future WordPress version update might somehow erase custom folders like those?
Thanks to anyone who can confirm that it’s ok to do this.

]]>I need a plugin or some hack to import a “downloads” folder (located in site’s root) which contains hundreds of pdf/docx/xls files into WordPress.
I’ve migrated a Joomla site to WordPress and this downloads (component) folder was not possible to migrate and now I’d need a way to import all these files into the WordPress media manager or a plugin
Any advise? Thanks a lot in advance
]]>To easily understand my questions and what I wish to archive, please, do have Amazon’s approaches in mind as it has many different domains, subdomains, and subfolders, yet has ONE MAJOR DISPLAY STORE to display all its products and services in one place.
1. I am thinking to have a FRONT-PAGE (installation) to e.g. example.com with A-Theme. As a new website, this installation will handle introductory to the website, etc, but I wish to have fewer plugins here for fast access. Also, to be on the good side to Google’s new rating requirements, I wish to build this installation with a Gutenberg-oriented theme.
2. Have a MARKETPLACE-PAGE (installation) (Woocommerice shop-page) e.g example.com/marketplace with B-Theme, that’s to say two different themes with two different installations. This page (installation) will handle the whole STORES DISPLAY, e.g. vendors plugins installed in different installations.
My questions are:
1. If I installed a Vendor plugin on the FRONT-PAGE (installation) or on a different installation for vendors to sign up, how is it to have vendor’s stores (goods) displayed on the MARKETPLACE-PAGE (shop-page installation)? _If you noticed, the domain Amazon used for vendors registration is different from the front-store domain, yet all the vendor’s goods appeared on the front-store page (domain)._
2. Regarding the above examples or needs, is it okay to have two or three different installations with efforts to use fewer plugins on each installation, and by trying to divide the needed plugin’s usage on each installation yet all to work with each other spontaneously? Also plus the need for two different designs for front and store installations with two different themes, what’s the best option, please?
3. What are the best approach or alternatives as I have started with the multisite approach but noticed that this too, will in the end requires too many plugins in one place, also, nearly all the backup plugins, plus some good plugins are not compatible. However, IF THIS IS STILL THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO ARCHIVE THE ABOVE NEEDS, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW? Thank you!
Lastly, on the above needs, what are the best method or suggestions for installing subdomains to complement the above feels, the main domain, Google wise, etc, is it through subdomains (sub.example.com/) or subfolders example.com/sub/)?
Thanks for your attention. I’m looking forward to your reply.
