You can’t have a subdomain with Multisite in a subfolder :/
After creating a subdomain site: If you edit your individual subdomain site, you can point it to the root, or do a subdirectory. I don’t know if this is part of the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin, or part of the standard code.

On the second line, you can set a path, such as /store and the result will look like this:

Someone with more experience could tell us if this actually works or not, but according to the configuration options, it should.
I apologize for the poor display of screenshots. I don’t do this often.
DO NOT DO THAT!
It’ll break other features of WP in the long run and isn’t supported. Which is why we say don’t do it.
OK, so it’s not recommended. I will agree with you there. But to say it cannot be done just invites someone to do what I did and show how it can. You should say it should not be done, not cannot.
Thanks for the feedback – I shall instead create a separate domain for the ‘store’ section of the site which is obviously inconvenient for me!
jacecar: Really the different between “You can do it, but it’ll break everything in the long run, make your site unstable, and cause you drama when you upgrade and end up rebuilding your entire site” and “You can’t do it” is slim to none, in my opinion.
There are a lot of things you CAN do but should never do (duplicating posts between sites). This one is a step past past and well into “You will destroy your site.”
(We’re talking about removing/hiding the damn site/home URL fields to prevent this. If you spend any time around here, you’ll find thousands of sites bolluxed beyond belief because of JUST editing those fields.)
beatles94: Is there any possibility of moving WP to rttv-sessions.co.uk ?
