    Hi,

    i was wondering if there is a best practice procedure to follow to install shield correctly on botha main domain and also an add on domain please?

    The add on is in a folder /public_html/addondomain.com, with the main domain install just being in /public_html.

    For example can i have shield on both or will two firewalls be problematic etc?

    thanks!

    I’m not sure I understand the question, but if I do and you’re running more than 1 WordPress site within the same folder, then yes, you will need to install Shield on each individual site.

    Hi Paul,

    ok thanks. They are not in exactly the same, one is an add on domain. So two different domains, two different wordpress sites but on one account.

    So the main domains wordpress is in the public_html/ folder.

    the the add on domains site is in a folder that is with the public_html. so public_html/addondomain.com/

    i guess my question is, can the firewall or other aspects of your plug on the main domain, that is in the main folder, clash with the firewall of the add on domain in the sub folder? (i know with word fence this is the case and i believe you are meant to install the add on domains firewall first, then the main domain after.) So just checking if i need to do that for Shield.

    Thanks

    Wordfence operates quite different to Shield. There will be no interoperation between sites that have Shield installed, as far as Shield is concerned.

    Hope this helps.
