Hi! Just to confirm, did you enable the sub domain multisite option and turn on remote diagnostics?
Enabling a “subdomain” multi-site setup for WooCommerce means creating a network of sites on separate subdomains of your main WordPress installation. While the specifics of enabling such a setup are not directly outlined in the documents uploaded, here’s a general process you can follow:
- Backup Your WordPress Site: Before making significant changes, always backup your site’s files and database.
- Enable WordPress Multisite:
- Edit your
wp-config.php
file and add define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
just before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
.
- Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Tools → Network Setup. You’ll then choose the ‘Sub-domains’ option for your network.
- Follow the instructions WordPress provides to update your
wp-config.php
and .htaccess
files with the new network settings.
- Set Up Your Subdomains: Depending on your hosting provider, you will typically use their control panel to create the subdomains.
- Configure DNS: Ensure that the DNS records for your subdomains are pointing to the correct server where your WordPress installation is hosted.
- Install WooCommerce on Network Sites: After setting up your multisite network, you can install WooCommerce on each site within the network.
- Configure Mailchimp for WooCommerce: If you’re using Mailchimp for WooCommerce on a multisite environment, you need to be aware that the plugin supports subdomain configurations only. It means that each site in your network with the plugin activated will be treated as a separate connection to Mailchimp .
You’ll need to make sure that your hosting environment supports the technical requirements for the WooCommerce plugin and that server configurations such as WP CRON
, PHP version, etc., are suitable for a WooCommerce multisite environment.
Once you have done those things, come back and we are happy to help!
