    Hello guys,

    I am just confused… can someone just clarify some things for me.

    1. I need to install WordPress into the sub-domains directory, correct?
    2. After I do that will both sites share posts and users?
    3. Permalinks are now looking a bit strange. I read that with the multisite config that will happen. If I structure it in the way it was before will there be a problem?

    Thanks

    1) You can, but you don’t HAVE to. You can use subdomains OR subfolders ??

    2) Users yes, posts no.

    3) Permalinks ONLY change for your main site, and they ONLY add /blog/ to the front of your links (so foobar.com/2010/postname becomes foobar.com/blog/2010/postname )

    Ipstenu,

    Thanks for clarifying these things for me… I was hoping that this type of setup would have given us the ability to share posts as well as users.

    Would there be a way to do this?

    Depends on how you want to share posts.

    you’re setting up your own version of wordpress.com – that’s how it works out of the box.

    Andrea_r,

    I’m not using wordpress.com. I was hoping to have a sub-domain share all posts and users to avoid having to re-style my template for mobile access.

    For example a visitor comes to domain.org and they are on a mobile device I would just add:

    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" media="handheld" href="https://m.domain.com" title="Mobile/PDA"/>

    And integrating jquery mobile the site would pull all posts from parent site as well as users.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    I know – I’m explaining that’s how multisite works.

    WordPress.com uses the multisite feature to offer blogs for their users.

    Well … there are mobile plugins for that, you know. You don’t need MultiSite for it.
