One set of content, multiple domain names, different themes on each?

  • Trying to accomplish the following. Any help / advice is greatly appreciated.

    1) I have multiple domain names (e.g., site1.com, site2.com, site3.com).
    2) I need each domain to display the same content BUT
    3) show a different wordpress theme.

    I know all things are possible….what are my options for accomplishing this?

    Thanks very much.

  • I need to get some clarity about the installation process in a setup such as this. We already have wordpress set up at one of the domains, and we have the two other domains ready but they don’t contain files from wordpress just yet.
    Do we upload wordpress to the second and third domain and run through the installation script, or do we just copy the files from the first domain over to the second and third domains?
    If I were to hazard a guess, I’d think we should run through the wordpress installation script on those domains as well, using the same prefixes, but I could be wrong. Can anyone confirm this?

    The point is to make sure all content from each domain is available on all three domains, including subsequent comments and edits of posts and pages. Meaning that when we use a sitewide latest posts or sitewide latest comments plugin, they’ll see everything and offer a link to the posts or comments on the domain where they were originally posted and so on. Also to have for example a blog called toms.domain.no for Norway be a different blog than toms.domain.se for Sweden.

    I’m asking because I’m not entirely sure about the process of adding wordpress to the second and third domains and have them working together like this, allthough I’m clear about entering database information during the WP setup process.

    xrun – You’re now off the topic a little and should REALLY make your own ??

    Quick answer.

    1) Install WordPress.
    2) ACTIVATE MULTISITE
    3) Add your sites and plugins.

    No extra installs of WP needed.

    First upon, sorry to extending this discussion after 9 months.
    I have in similar requirement, as discussed above.
    We have clients at UK, USA, INDIA and UAE. Our basic aim is to serve the same contents (in English language only) to all the clients, without changing a single word. For this we will have 4 different domains. Only the difference will be in these 4 websites is THEME. We will be providing themes, based on country and their local culture.
    So please suggest me, how we can achieve the same?
    Also we are not worrying about Search Engines, since this is our internal project and we are not going to expose it out side. This will be accessed only from site to site VPN.

    I’m glad you’re sorry, but you really should create your own topic with your own details.

    In 9 months the software has changed and if you can start your own topic you’ll be in a better place to get support.
