The Ultimate Guide to WordPress Multisite - WPMU DEV
Activating Multisite on a Fresh WordPress Installation
Activating Multisite when you install WordPress involves a few extra
steps. Firstly, you need to install WordPress and allowing a network.
- Install WordPress in the normal way. Download WordPress and use the “Famous 5 minute install” to install it on your server or local machine.
- Open your
wp-config.php file which you’ll find in the folder where you installed WordPress. Find the line that reads:
| /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ |
- Immediately above that line, create a new line that reads as follows:
| define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); |
- Now save your
wp-config.php file.
The next step is to visit the WordPress admin screens and install Multisite.
- In the WordPress admin, go to Tools >Network Setup. You’ll be prompted to choose subdomains or subdirectories for your installation: choose the one that works for your network.
- Edit the title of your network and email address of the network administrator when prompted, or leave them as they are.
- Click the Install button.
The final step is to copy some code provided by WordPress into your
wp-config.php and
.htaccess files.
