 * Hello there, I’m gonna be using wordpress as a portfolio, and I would like to
   know how to have multiple active wordpress, each have different ACTIVE(not just
   installed themes) themes,
 * it will look like this mysite.com/wp/site1, mysite.com/wp/site2, mysite.com/wp/
   site3, mysite.com/wp/site5, and more,
 * I have a paid host for my own site/wordpress(not the free host by wordpress.com),
   thus I control everything, I also read multisite only allows you to install many
   themes but ONLY activate ONE theme for all active wordpress at a time, my portfolio
   is going to be showing multiple wordpress themes, these themes are going to be
   uploaded and installed,
 * I also need to be able to put magento in each of these subdirectory wordpress,
   the manner doesn’t matter, if I should install for each, or install once and 
   just active for each wordpress
 * TL;DR: different WP subdirectory, different active themes at the same time, multisite
   ONLY allows multiple installed themes but only one active theme for all WP, I
   also need to only use one database.

 * No idea how to get Magento to work with this but the best way to have multiple
   WordPress sites in the same WordPress installation is to use WP Multisite: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
 * Magento is a different application so unless there is a plugin available I’m 
   not sure there is a good way to connect that to any WordPress installatoin.
 * WP Multisite uses virtual directories.
 * If you want to go the geeky route you could certainly have one database for multiple
   actual WordPress installations. You would just use same database credentials 
   for each installation, and simply use a different database prefix for each one.
 * It really depends on the level of customization you need but Magento is a bit
   outside the scope of what this forum here is for, but if there is a plugin that
   would do that then I think that might help.
 * Best of luck! 🙂
