    Hi there,

    I really didn’t want to end up on a forum and thought this was something i could complete myself. But here we are. 🙁

    I have just set up multisite on my client’s primary domain careyindustrial.com.au. In addition to this there are 6 other domains that will use similar themes and database structure all but a few minor changes.

    I can access the ‘Add New Site’ section of the dashboard but am only presented with an option for subdomains.

    You can only choose sub folders or sub domains, not both. When you set up your network you must have set it to be sub domains. You can follow this tutorial to change it to sub folders instead: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/change-wordpress-multisite-to-sub-directories-sub-domains/

    Let us know how you get on.

    Hi,

    I made it to the re-install with sub-directores bit…

    /* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'careyindustrial.com.au');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

    and then went to access my -admin i got the Error establishing a database connection screen.

    Does that mean restart?

    Thanks for your help.

    Ok, i think i am starting again…

    The server runs through Plesk.
    When I check the directories i see /httpdocs/
    I previously installed my WordPress installation in there. Is that correct?

    The main domain that i want to use is called careyindustrial.com.au

    I would like to install sub-directories but when i install the code above i get errors so wanted to make sure that i am starting right from the start.

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Success maybe?

    http://careyindustrial.com.au/

    http://careyindustrial.com.au/careypacific

    Do I now mask http://careyindustrial.com.au/careypacific as careypacific.com.au?

    Thanks!
