    I remember several years where I managed three WP sites through one admin panel and could easily switch between them. Now I’ve just created a new self-hosted WordPress installation for one site. Before I upload content for the site to its WordPress admin panel I first want to integrate that site’s control panel with an older, existing site’s control panel for the domain. How is that done easily? Thank you.

    Hi @blueplanetalmanac ,

    You are talking about WordPress Multisite in which you were a super admin managing any site from a single admin panel.

    Talking about your current need, you will need to add the new site to the older one only. Or also, you can allow your new installation to be a multisite and import the previous site’s content. Then you can start uploading the new content.

    For your reference, here is about Multisite in WordPress.

    Thank you… But the multisite network admin panel described in the link mentioned is lots more complex than I ever noticed on the older control panel. I took a screenshot of the old admin panel just now but don’t see a quick way to attach it to this post other than uploading it to a live link via FTP.

    Rather than the complex coding required in the article you mentioned, I just now noticed a JetPack plug-in method to link the sites I want. I’m going to try that right now.

    Hi @blueplanetalmanac ,

    Apologies for the technical article.

    Please let me know your experience wit using jetpack.

    If you don’t get it soleve with it, please let me know here.

    Thank you for your encouragement and being a catalyst. By adding a JetPack subscription for the 3rd, new site at CasualSaints, and by entering the WP control panel with my very first admin panel log-in address from my original 2009 blogsite at Blue Planet Almanac, I can now see all three of the sites live in one admin panel. You must switch between them but that will simplify finding them.

    Here is the combined control panel I now see via the original blogsite admin panel. Casual Saint is the new site I just added via the extra JetPack subscription for that domain.

    In this way I was just now able to add my existing e-mail as a User at the new blogsite, and it also shows my Gravatar. I’d forgotten how to do this because it has been a few years since I did it last.

    Hi @blueplanetalmanac,

    Thanks to you for explaining about the Jetpack usage.

    Hope I was helpful.

    Please close the issue from your end!

    Hi, I wanted to thank you for allowing us to build a WordPress site. This way, and of course, building a WordPress site, we were able to create a site called Chechilas for its magazine section.

    hi @setayesh78,

    The above site doesn’t seem to be a wordpress site?
