In this lesson we will learn about WordPress multisite networks. We will learn what a multisite network is, why you might use a multisite network, and how to create a multisite network.
A WordPress multisite network is a collection of sites that all share the same WordPress installation. Each site in a multisite network is a separate site, with its own content, users, and settings. However, they all share the same WordPress installation, which means that they also share the same core WordPress files, plugins, and themes.
To create a multisite network, you need to add a few lines of code to your wp-config.php
file. You also need to update your .htaccess
file.
To enable multisite, open your wp-config.php
file and add the following code above the line that says /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
:
/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
