The guide recommended by benrosier is great and I’m halfway through installing the subdomains. I’m up to creating a Network Admin Dashboard, but haven’t yet done so.

I’ve been reading ahead, and I may be pre-empting a problem that doesn’t exist. The guide says: Add the supplied rules for your.htaccess file from the ‘Enabling the Network’ page to replace all other WordPress rules in the .htaccess file with the supplied code.

My question is, how will I know what the all other WordPress rules are, is it obvious?

The guide, more or less stops here, so another question is how do I then create the subdomains?

Finally, a basic question, how might the subdomains be linked to my site; what is perhaps the best method given that the subdomain is a shop selling products from the blog site?

OK
Seems like I’ve updated the wp-config-sample.php by FTP in the public_html folder
All going smoothly so far!!!

OK
I’ve renamed wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, and added define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
I have saved the document, and it now says to 5. Save your new wp-config.php file and reupload it to the root of your website..

How do I reupload to the root of my website?

Thanks that looks promising…
But I’ve fallen at the first hurdle:
1. I can’t locate wp-config.php, there’s a wp-config-sample.php, but if I right click there is not an EditPlus 3 option. I have a screenshot of the options available but there seems to be no facility here to share it.

By the way I’m using MacOS
