Network with unique problem

  • I have wordpress installed in a subdirectory (/topics) but have the index and htaccess files at the root so that the site appears at the root.

    Now I need to create a Network so I can install a flexmls plugin twice on the original and the virtual locations.

    I tried following codex instructions on using a different wordpress site to see if I can do it and I couldn’t (I followed directions but still got error about tables). And since the site I need to have networked is live and more complex (in my mind) I don’t know how to do it.

    I can leave the original install within the subdirectory and create a network to an installation at the root.

    Any help appreciated

  • Hi,

    Could you please copy the error text that you were getting? Also, your .htaccess file might be helpful here.
    Personally, I wouldn’t recommend you to install a separate WordPress instance to the root, when you have a subfolder’s instance pointing there, that’s going to create you more problems instead.
    If you don’t want to perform all the actions on your production site, it’s worth creating an exact copy of it either on local or on a dev server and then, after making sure that everything is correct with your set-up, move the changes to production.

    Thanks,
    Pavel

    @braven1612 It sounds to me like you’re trying to find a way to change your single site into a multisite network. Is that correct?
