What is it good for, when you will need it and when you won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Today we\u2019ll find out how to manually establish your first WordPress Multisite.<\/p>\n<p>To do so, we\u2019ll go through a number of steps. If you are not an experienced webmaster, the steps will seem a bit intimidating at first but I promise you, there is nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>There is a bit of code copying and pasting. A bit of adjusting. But you\u2019ll cope with it.<\/p>\n<p>By following this tutorial on how to establish WordPress Multisite you\u2019ll find yourself an owner of a website network, long before you expected to.<\/p>\n<p>We have a lot to cover, so let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Enabling WordPress Multisite Network Feature<\/h2>\n<p>When you <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/install-wordpress-zacky\/\">Install WordPress<\/a> the Multisite Network feature is built-in. But you\u2019ll have to enable it.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve installed WordPress, you can go to the File Manager and start the Multisite enabling process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NB! <\/strong>Before proceeding, I want to urge you to create a backup of the following files:<\/p>\n<p>\/home\/www\/domainname.com\/<strong><u>wp-config.php<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\/home\/www\/domainname.com\/<strong><u>.htacces<\/u> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that you have the needed backups, you can continue without any worries about the potential mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you have to do is to add two lines of code in the <strong><u>wp-config.php<\/u><\/strong> file.<\/p>\n<p>Once you open the file, scroll to the bottom of the code. Look for the line which says:<br \/>\n<strong><em>\/* That&#8217;s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. *\/<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is what you can expect to see:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wp-config-php-file.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19402\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wp-config-php-file.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"615\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After you found this particular line of code, you have to paste the following just <strong><em>above<\/em><\/strong> it:<\/p>\n<p><em>\/* Multisite *\/<\/em><br \/>\n<em>define( &#8216;WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE&#8217;, true );<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Save the changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve enabled the feature.<\/p>\n<p>Now you have to adjust your WordPress Multisite Network and make it work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Setting up WordPress Multisite Network<\/h2>\n<p>After you\u2019ve enabled the Multisite Network Feature, in the menu in your admin panel, a new option will occur.<\/p>\n<p>But before interacting with it, you have to deactivate all of your <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-plugin-wordpress\/\">plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Go to <strong>Plugins -&gt; Installed Plugins<\/strong>. Select all of them, and choose the bulk deactivation option. Click <strong>Apply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After doing this, you have to configure your Network. \u00a0While setting the network is a fairly straightforward process, there are a few things that you have to know if this is your first time setting a WordPress Multisite Network.<\/p>\n<p>Head to <strong>Tools -&gt; Network Setup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Network-Setup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19403\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Network-Setup.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"479\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you should expect to see, once on the page:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Setting-Up-a-WordPress-Multisite-Network.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19404\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Setting-Up-a-WordPress-Multisite-Network.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"712\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now you have to choose the domain structure of your Multisite Network. It could be either<\/p>\n<p>Sub-domains or Sub-directories. Choose the network title. And make sure the inserted email address is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Click the blue <strong>Install<\/strong> button at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<p>A new page will load. Here is what you\u2019ll see:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/establishing-Multisite-Network-code.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-19405\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/establishing-Multisite-Network-code-1024x639.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"639\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The code on the upper part of the page, you\u2019ll have to add to your in the wp-config.php file, right<\/p>\n<p>above the line reading \/* That\u2019s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. *\/<\/p>\n<p>The other piece of code, you\u2019ll have to add to your .htaccess file, replacing the already existing text<\/p>\n<p>in there.<\/p>\n<p>Now just go back to your WordPress Website and log in again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Configuring Network Settings<\/h2>\n<p>Your WordPress Multisite is already set up. What follows is the configuring of the network.<\/p>\n<p>Once, you are back to the <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/enter-wordpress-admin-panel\/\">WordPress Admin Panel<\/a>, you\u2019ll figure that something is different.<\/p>\n<p>On the strip at the top of the Admin Panel, you\u2019ll see a new option. It says <strong>\u201cMy Sites\u201d<\/strong> and there you can find the <strong>Network Dashboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Network-Dashboard.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19406\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Network-Dashboard.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You have to go there in order to create (add) a new website to the network.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Add-site-or-user-to-Multisite-Network.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19407\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Add-site-or-user-to-Multisite-Network.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve opened the Network Dashboard, the main menu of the WordPress Admin Panel (the one on the left) will change. There will be fewer options, but they are general options for the Network as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>To configure network settings, click on the \u2018Settings\u2019 link in the admin sidebar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Setting-up-Multisite-Network.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-19408\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Setting-up-Multisite-Network-1024x318.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"318\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see a vast number of options when scrolling down. Make sure all the tunable settings are defined by your taste and click the <strong>Save Changes<\/strong> button at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Adding New Sites to Your WordPress Multisite Network<\/h2>\n<p>Adding a site to the network is a simple process. You have to go to <strong>My Sites<\/strong>-&gt;<strong>Network Admin<\/strong>-&gt;<strong> Sites<\/strong> or just click on <strong>My Sites <\/strong>which will lead you to the <strong>Network Dashboard<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Add-sites-to-Network-Multisite.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19409\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Add-sites-to-Network-Multisite.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"177\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By clicking on the <strong>Sites<\/strong> link, you\u2019ll be directed to the add site page.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see a list of all the added sites (as for now, just your main website).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/sites-on-the-network-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19415\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/sites-on-the-network-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click the Add New button, right next to the page title.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/new-site-on-the-network-setting-up.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19410\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/new-site-on-the-network-setting-up.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"703\" height=\"394\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, for this WordPress Multisite tutorial I\u2019ve chosen to make the network of sites in sub-directories, rather than subdomains. If you choose to set your network in subdomains, you\u2019ll see a slightly different view. Nevertheless, the process is the same.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve chosen the name of the site you wish to create, you can add an admin email address other than the one you are currently using to manage your multisite.<\/p>\n<p>If the email address is not currently in use by another user, WordPress will create a new user and send the password and username to the email address you\u2019ve entered.<\/p>\n<p>When you are ready, click on the <strong>Add Site<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p>A new site will be added to your multisite network. As the network admin, you will receive a new site registration email.<\/p>\n<p>If you created a new user, then that user will receive an email with instructions to set a password and <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/enter-wordpress-admin-panel\/\">log in<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Adding Themes and Plugins to Your Multisite Network<\/h2>\n<p>By default, individual site administrators in a multisite network cannot install themes and plugins on their own. As the network admin, also known as Super Admin, you can install plugins and themes and make those themes\/plugins available to the sub-sites.<\/p>\n<p>You already know <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/install-wordpress-theme\/\">how to add themes<\/a> and <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-plugin-wordpress\/\">install plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, once you have a Multisite Network, you can install themes on the main site (when in its Dashboard) and on the Network and enable them down the network.<\/p>\n<p>The sites down the network(all except the main site) don\u2019t have the rights to install themes and plugins. Yet, they can choose which of the enabled themes to use. And if you enabled <strong>Plugin Menu<\/strong>, the subsite&#8217;s admins will be able to activate or deactivate the installed plugins by their choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we talked about WordPress Multisite.
