# Batch Creating Users/Blogs

 * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/batch-creating-usersblogs/)
 * I am a high school teacher and have a WordPress install on an Xserve that hosts
   my class Website: [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/).
   Last year I setup a separate WordPress install with multi-site enabled at [http://boltpress.edisonchargers.com/](http://boltpress.edisonchargers.com/).
   I used DD Import Users: [http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/](http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/)
   and Batch Create Blogs: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-create-blogs/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-create-blogs/).
   This worked out well after some trial and error.
 * Anyhow, this year I am not using the [http://boltpress.edisonchargers.com/](http://boltpress.edisonchargers.com/)
   domain. I made a folder inside of my class WordPress install called “blogs” and
   did a separate WordPress install there with its own database. So, it is at [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/),
   which is working fine.
 * However, now I can’t get the Batch Create Blogs to work. I have the plugin installed
   at: [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/),
   but when it creates the blogs it creates them at [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com).
   So, instead of [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/student1](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/student1)
   it is [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/student1](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/student1).
   🙁
 * Any ideas? I have ~200 to create every year.

 * I remember you from last year 😉
 * To make sure … [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/)
   is a separate site entirely?

 * He’s using [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-create-blogs/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-create-blogs/)
 * I wonder if it’s picking up some settings for the main site, or if it doesn’t
   know how to handle subfolders (which is weird) or if there’s a .htaccess conflict…

 * Yes, separate site entirely. I didn’t want the student sites mixed in with my
   main class site/database. I am using the Batch Create Blogs plugin for the WordPress
   directory. It worked great last year when the site was in its own domain. The
   school doesn’t give me any money for setting up the sites, plugins, etc. So, 
   I always look for free solutions since I am not a pro developer/webmaster.
 * I tested making a blog by hand and it properly went into [http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/student1](http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/student1),
   but that would take forever. The plugin will create the accounts in subfolders
   and I did use it with WP and not WPMU last year, but I guess it doesn’t understand
   when it is already installed in a subfolder?
 * Not looking forward to creating one by one.

 * Did you use it on WP 3.1 (We’re on 3.2.1 now, so I wonder if you’d need to install
   3.1, batch upload, and THEN upgrade?)
