Where is the sub domain file structure?

  • Dear All,

    I have finished creating my network installation of WP 3.2.1 selecting the sub domains option.

    I have added two sites for test purposes and added different themes on each site.

    A quick shows that both sites can be accessed at display their appropriate themes.

    All good so far.

    Now I wish to tweak these themes and have some files for this purpose on another test site that I wish to drop in.

    I was expecting to log in through cpanel or ftp and add the appropriate file to the theme directory. Furthermore I was expecting WordPress to have created the appropriate sub domain file structure when I added the sites through network admin.

    As far as I can tell no new sub domain has been created. I am therefore slightly at a loss to understand how WP knows what themes, pages e.t.c. belong to which site on the network.

    Please could someone explain because clearly I have not understood correctly how this network installation works and where the files for each site are stored.

    Regards

    Dear All,

    OK I have gone about this the wrong way and I have just read the intro to the forum and seen the answer to my question:

    A few notes:

    – The extra sites are virtual. You will not see folders on the server for each site, just ones in the blogs.dir folder for media uploads specific to each site.

    Obviously there is some confusion here from the description of the network install create a network documentation. Would it be a good idea for Otto’s and Andrea_r’s comment at the top of this forum to be included at the head of this documentation?

    Meanwhile….I can see that this network install is powerful and could be very useful.

    I will review the domain mapping again.

    Good idea, added it to the create-a-network page. ??

    Do you still need help with updating themes?
