Category Visibility Across Multiple Sites

    Good morning,

    I was kicking around an idea over the weekend, and wanted to see if it were possible to do…

    I own the domain names for all my family members, and then a name that is central to our family. I thought it would be cool if I could run WP on the “central” domain, and all posts from all family members would appear there, but then have some code that would make the categories for each family member (mom, dad, kid1, kid2, etc…) appear only on their own individual domain. So they can share with their friends just their blog stories, yet everything is maintained in one database, and I only have to manage one installation of WP, rather than 6. Is something like this possible, and if so, what would it take to pull it off?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Why multiple installs? Why not choose just one install, multiple users. Blog posts/user could serve as ‘individual domain’.

    As to your question, don’t think is possible.

    Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I did just want one install, but have the content that kid1 posts, appear on kid1.com, my content appears on myname.com, etc… So that I only had to manage one installation of WP, but the kids could each have their own “blog”, separate on their own domain.

    You cannot use multiple domain names in a single install of WordPress.

    Might be as simple as DNS linking kid1.com to centraldomain.com/kid1/. Not sure if this will work though.

    That will not work effectively. All internal links on the site will still point to centraldomain.com/kid1

    ok, thank you all for the input. I will continue a search for a solution elsewhere.
