Just installed new wp and seeing blog.dir?

  • So what is the blogs.dir? I’m assuming it’s for multisite, but I’m not using this. Can I just delete the directory?

  • Hi rwilki,

    Where are you seeing the blogs directory? Is it in the same folder where you installed WordPress? If you could take a screen shot or give us a link to where you are seeing this it would be very helpful.

    Thanks!

    it’s in wp-content directory.

    blogs.dir
    index.php
    languages
    plugins
    themes
    upgrade
    uploads

    not sure why languages is there either…

    Hello rwilki,

    It sounds like you started to create a network (formerly Multisite) as that is not a folder in the standard WordPress installation, it’s one you create when you’re setting up a network with WordPress. If you’re installing WordPress manually, please make sure you’re following these instructions:

    If you’ve gotten off track with the installation, you may want to clear the files out and restart the installation process.

    Hope this helps!

    that’s really strange. I’ve done multiple wp installations. I did this one through a cpanel installer, maybe I wasn’t paying attention. everything seems to be working fine though… i might just delete the extra directories.

    Thanks,
    Bob
