Mika, thank you. Current theme doe snot allow me to, though.
Can I change this in the db in phpmyadmin?

Regards, strategizeme

Mika, thank you so much for your quick reply.
I will bear that in mind.

@doncgarner,

I forgot to mention that I use the add-on domain as a stage environment to test WP multisite sub-directories enabled.

I hope this clarifies.

@doncgarner,

hello and thank you for your question. I am not an expert by any stretch of imagination. However, this is what I have done to install WP multisite (sub-diretories enabled) to an addon domain.

1. In cPanel, Added myaddondomain.com as an addon domain (primary domain: myprimarydomain.com which has WP multisite (sub-directories enabled))
2. Addon domain Document root: /public_html/myaddondomain
3. Created new database using mySQL databases, in cpanel
4. Added user to new database
5. FTP wordpress to public_html/myaddondomain
6. Renamed wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php; edited file’s database, user and password credential.
7. added web host Ip address myaddondomain.com to host file (my machine). eg: 123.123.123.123 myaddondomain.com
8. Typed myaddondomain.com in the URL to start the wp installation as specified in this guide.
9. followed instruction Create A WordPress Network

Now, the guide (point 9) suggest you liase with your host to make the necessary changes to some files (eg: add a wildcard subdomain to your DNS records, see page 7 of the guide)
Perhaps @ipstenu may wish to provide extra insight on this, given my suggested procedure for a WP multisite sub-diretories enabled to an addon domain.

I hope this helps.

@ipstenu

thank you for this. I too am facing a similar scenario. Is the example below the best practice, in your opinion?

– Primary domain (mysite.com) – web hosted WP multisite/sub-directories installed in home/public_html/

– Addon domain (dev.mysite.com) also added to public html folder: eg home/public_html/dev/

Thank you for clarifying that and for your support.

Mika, I have found this excellent guide by Andrea r_

I that you have given me an answer already. I also appreciate that the guide (above) talks about server set up, whereas I am setting up WP multisite/sub-directories using XAMPP virtual localhost. However, i have found other guidelines that suggest that i should create a blogs.dir folder.

Could you please confirm that the blogs.dir is not needed?

Thank you for your support.

Mika, thank you.
I have a 2 live WP Multisite (subdiretory) root installation on a lixux server. Two domains: .org and .com.

I was thinking to install WP on local in 2 separate folders:

C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite-org
C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite-com

Is this best practice?
What are the implications (eg links not working) of moving live-to-local then loal-to-live?

Thank you for your support.

Kjodle, thanks.
Unfortunately local host is not an option unless it is more practical and convenient (time, efforts, etc) than running a stage environment online.

Is that the case? If so, could you please assist?
Thank you for your support.

Excellent, thank you for clarifying that.

Derrick, excellent tutorial. I am going to give it a go.
Do you have an email address I can use in case I get stuck?
I understand if you wish not to share your email.
Thank you for now.

@metoo55, thank you for the handy work around. I have used postname instead.
What about taking the category slug off so that the link reads as follow, for example:

.com/travel/new-york-city-restaurants-tips

Were travel is the category.

As opposed to

com/category/travel/new-york-city-restaurants-tips

On a different note, Can i always revert back to default, using the slug blog ?

What are the default permalinks setting for primary site at site level and network level?
Apologies for the numerous questions and thank you for your support.

Mika, understood. Thank you fir clarifying this, but i wrongly assumed they were displayed in the image library after regenerating.

Mika i know the plugin resizes the images, but should the resized images show up on the media library?
If no, please ignord my post. If yes, what fo i need to do to make make sure the resized images appear in the library so that i can use them in my image galleries?
Thank you for your support
