Multisite with other domains and same User/Members

  • Hello. I need assistance. I have 3 WordPress installations on 3 different domains, on the same server. Now I have tried to set up multisite, but I only found outdated instructions that don’t seem to work that way anymore. Also my biggest problem is that the user accounts have to be included.

    For explanation, I once had my “company page” as a so-called main page. Because I develop/developed 2 games, I created a page with a separate domain for each game. On the same server, at the same hoster, in the same PHPmyadmin, with different databases (each database can theoretically access the others). Can anyone here help me how I can best implement this? I have the latest WordPress versions and host WordPress myself. So not via www.remarpro.com.

    Many thanks in advance!

    This is fairly easy. Just convert the site you want to keep following this info…

    Now migrate the content from the two sites you wish to move over to new subsites and move your other two domains using the WordPress network’s domain mapping abilities.

    I use the export/import abilities of WordPress to migrate sites.

    I have already tried, but then I cannot get to the other website. Do I have to set up multisite on all 3 wordpress installations, or just on one that I map to a domain?

    It’s a multisite so it will hold all three of your sites and as many more as you want up to the limits of the capabilities of your present server… And then you can move it up to a better server to add even more.

    The other two installations will go away after you migrate all the content from them onto the multisite as new sites on your multisite.

    Do backup everything on all your sites before starting and save those backups on something safe like your own desktop or a thumb drive even.

    Hi, thank you very much for the answer I have now got it right. However, there are one thing that are extremely bothering me right now. On the one hand, in the 2 additional pages, all media are simply invisible, so that I can upload, but it does not bring more to me.

    If you didn’t export the media files during the content export then you’ll need to do that manually. Or try the export again and select to include the media files when you do so.

    WordPress can usually handle multiple export/import cycles without losing its pointers but sometimes media gets tricky as multisite stores media files a little differently than a discrete (single) sites.

    Hi. I uploaded new pictures and media. But also here all pictures are transparent except I call the upload link of the picture directly. What have I done wrong?

    I have found out that it is related to the domain mapping. What can I do to use a real domain for the multisite instead of the subdomain without the images not loading?

    This thread has moved off the original subject to a topic that really needs to be on its own pertaining more to these media issues. That doesn’t help the other people who might have this same problem later to find this thread and doesn’t attract others with more/better insights on this problem.

    Would you mind creating a new topic and see if we can’t get that problem fixed from there?

    Maybe even center around the media files and the fact this is a new multisite with content from three other WordPress installs.

    I’ll be watching for that new topic and pondering this problem while waiting for your next post.
