Multisite Install

  • I am replacing a very basic ‘html’ website (www.myclient.co.uk) with a new WordPress multisite install.

    I would like to install on the actual server https://www.myclient.co.uk as I have previously found it difficult to move a multisite install and it can’t be installed in a sub folder or directory.

    My question is, once I have installed the WP multisite, can I copy back my simple html site so that the current site can be used until I have finished the build of the new site?

  • You just need to rename index.php to some other file name when you wanted to copy back your old “html” site, so that you can access your old site. And when you want your wordpress site back, just delete your old “html” files and rename back to index.php.

    Hi, thanks for your help. Would I still be able to login to my admin area and develop the new site whilst index.php was renamed?

    My current home page is index.htm so the file names don’t clash anyway, so would it be possible to just specify that index.htm is the one used for my live website until my WP build is complete?

    I think by default, apache will load index.html and not index.php

    This mean you can keep the index.html and have index.php as well, once the website is ready, you can delete index.html and the website will start loading from index.php

    You can also do what was suggested above and rename index.php
