Hi Lyle, Many thanks for the reply…

The main ‘culprits’ seem to be certain themes and/or plugins and not WP or it’s servers specifically.

Q1: Well my main/first question is:
Is it OK to have numerous (ie, more than one) WordPress-sites on the same domain, each in their own individual folder,
ie: Where each folder contains its own individual install of WordPress ?
(ie: NOT installing them as Network-MU-sites

Q2: And if its OK: Do I need to set anything extra (in the server) to allow these multiple site to function correctly ?

Out of curiosity, any particular reason for the ‘convoluted’ path to your local sites? ?? All you really need is /wordpress1, /wordpress2, etc. within htdocs.

Well, I have many different projects in my Xampp Server, so it’s just a convenient way to contain each one into its own folder, just like you would in Windows Explorer.
Originally the files in folder My_Web_Files came from a previous PC, so I needed to keep them separate, but I guess I could drop that folder in the future.

Q3: Why ? Do you see it causing a problem ?

BTW: The error message, now appears in both installs, but it didn’t appear in the first install, until after I’d done the second install.

Q4: How can I track down the cause of MY error message, I know you said do a search, but if no one else has my problem, how should I proceed ?

Q5: And…perhaps this is a dum question: But, am I likely to run into stability problems if I ignore the error message ?

Many thanks.

Hi,
Anyone know how to do this ?

Many thanks

…Individual installs in each folder is definitely easier and with less risk for breaking anything.

Hi Jen,
Many thanks for your reply…
[First: Re your comment above: Could you explain the problems/options.]

Yes: I did mean without the .com (the perils of copy n paste)
ie: https://www.My_New_Multi_Wordpress_Website_4.com/My_Wordpress_Website_1

I’ve looked around & there seems to be a lot of very sketchy information on moving WP-sites & Multisite-Installation, can you advise me how to do this ?

I’d prefer individual installs in each folder, especially if it’s easier and more reliable!

Info on the following would be most appreciated, eg:

My current situation, as previously outlined:

I already have some sites on individual domains, that I need to MOVE to their own individual folders on this new ’empty’ domain.

The new domain is basically an empty domain hosted at Hostgator.

However: Using Hostgators QuickInstall:
I have tried installing 2 test WP sites into individual folders…

The first installed as normal.
The second failed, with the error-msg:
Error: You have exceeded the maximum allowed databases

So it seems that HG will only allow one database per domain (and not one per folder)

Q1: So how do I remove this first test WP site (& its database etc) ?
Q2: How do I install WP-Multisite ?
Q3: How do I install new-WP-sites into their own individual folders on this new WP-Multisite ?
Q4: How do I RELIABLY move my current sites from their current domains,
into their own individual folders on this new WP-Multisite ?

NB: The current sites are not currently huge:
So if MOVing current sites is not reliable, or complicated:
Then although it would be a real pain, I could install them as new WP sites, and re-build them from scratch ?

A coherent step by step guide would be really appreciated.

Many thanks.
