Hi,

It’s me again…

Don’t worry about this…I have changed plugin and that one works perfectly.

Thanks for your plugin that introduced me to the possibilities. Cheers.

Ok all,

I couldn’t figure it out. Changing theme to eliminate the headache.

Thanks.

Hi Mika,

I installed again and went into the file to change ‘multisite’ from false to true and it seems to work.

Please let me know if what I have done is incorrect and will give me problems later.

So far so good though so I am hopeful that it is sorted.

Thanks mate for helping out.

Cheers.

Hi Tara,

Happy to report that your method worked perfectly.

Thanks for helping out. Much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply mate.

Sorry but I should have updated this post.
I got an error message during switching on my first install and shortly after the site crashed. I reinstalled the multisite and now everything is working well. (I suspect it was not installed properly the first time.)

Thanks again for the great plugin and also for taking the time to reply.

Cheers mate.

Thanks Mika,

Understood. Cheers mate.

Thanks Marc and Mika…

Sorry for not making my question clear.

I do have one site on the main install URL. What I meant is, can I set another subdomain, say site1.mydomain.com that I can manage from my network dashboard. I tried setting another site for myself from the dashboard but it sends me to site1.mydomain/wp-admin.php to log in. I am hoping that I can manage site1.mydomain.com directly from the same network dashboard. (Just like how I control my main site from the network dashboard)

If yes, please explain the steps to get it done.

Cheers Mika, I will put the code in my wp-content folder.

Thanks in advance all…

Thanks Tera, Will try that and see what happens.

Cheers.

Thanks Mika. Much appreciated.

Hi Mika,

Thanks for that.

Are you saying that if I install multisite on foo.example.com, then I cannot access example.com? Or do you mean that installing on foo.example.com means the installation / multisite won’t work? Or that my host won’t allow me to have sitename.foo.example.com?

Sorry mate, I am a bit thick on this. Please tell me like I am 12 years old.

I read that some people use example.com as their ‘main site’ and the subdomain for their multisite. This is why I am confused. Maybe I am reading their statements wrong but I don’t understand what a ‘main site’ is either. (I assume it means like their home page, welcome page or something like that).

Anyway, you are right that I need to know what URL structure I want which was exactly the question mate. I do not undertsnad it and do not know the benefits or problems of installing in root or in a sub domain.

Any pros and cons of each method would be fantastic.

Thanks again.
