So far so good, but now I am lost

argh found my problem, my browser was still remembering the admin password. So now the only issue is to get the url to be mysite.com/george mysite.com/sam etc. any ideas?

*you* are the Super Admin. You have to visit the Netowkr admin area . the link is in the upper right, next to “howdy”.

if you create a new site with your email address… then you are the super admin. you can get in anywhere, all the time. doesn’t matter what blog.

tell your users to go to yourdomain.com/wp-signup.php while logged in, and tell them to sign up for a blog and use their name. they can actually make it anything, and if your instal is at mydomain.com and you picked subfolder, they will get yourdomain.com/whatever/.

if they sign up for a username and blog at the same time, the blog will be their username.

Thanks for the info.
does this also apply to a sub-domain?
ie https://my.subdomain/sam https://my.sudomain/fred etc?

Lastly, is hacking an issue with WordPress? If so how do you increase security because once one WordPress site is hacked you would think all of them would surrender to the same hack?

Thanks

Hacking is no more an issue than on any other app.

does this also apply to a sub-domain?
ie https://my.subdomain/sam https://my.sudomain/fred etc?

yes. domain.com is an example because most people install it in the root.

multisite is inherently more secure from with wordpress itself. The last few round of hacks have all been getting in to the server itself, targeting wp. not thru wp.

I “think” the site is set up correctly. However I have still not been able to get someone to sign up for a blog and have their URL https://my.subdomain/sam if their username is Sam.
I think its because I do not understand the function of Site Admin and Network admin properly. I will do some reading. I am still missing something and not sure what it is. As soon as I discover it I will ask. Thanks for all the help thus far, much appreciated.

network admin is off the main site and is for global actions across all sites. only you, the Super Admin, has access to it.

site admin is the admin area for each sub site. the main site also has a site admin for blog-specific functions.

If you gave us a URL it would be easy to point out. ??

Yup now I am really confused. The site is part of mine, and my husbands site, and I would prefer not too publish it here till we are finished the whole new site. Blogs is just one part of an entirely new site.
Is there a way to private message you?

No, there’s no PMs.

If your MAIN install, the single install you started with, is at sub.domain.com, then if you had picked subfolders on setup, you would have the URLS that you want.

network admin is at sub.domain.com/wp-admin/network/ in your case.
the admin for the main site is sub.domain.com/wp-admin/
the admin for a sub site would be sub.domain.com/sam/wp-admin/

Really, with a URL (which will be done by the time random people from searh engines find it in here) I can usually find out the issue in less than a minute. Verses going back and forth trying to describe whats going on when you don’t really know. ??

okay
https://blogs.tradingchief.com is the URL
My husband is working on the rest of the new site and I am too configure this part. So far I have most of it configured, there is just some little thing I am missing??

Thanks for the help
