Does Multisite Install share users and posts?

    Hello guys,

    I am just confused… can someone just clarify some things for me.

    1. I need to install WordPress into the sub-domains directory, correct?
    2. After I do that will both sites share posts and users?
    3. Permalinks are now looking a bit strange. I read that with the multisite config that will happen. If I structure it in the way it was before will there be a problem?

    Thanks

    1) You can, but you don’t HAVE to. You can use subdomains OR subfolders 🙂

    2) Users yes, posts no.

    3) Permalinks ONLY change for your main site, and they ONLY add /blog/ to the front of your links (so foobar.com/2010/postname becomes foobar.com/blog/2010/postname )

    Ipstenu,

    Thanks for clarifying these things for me… I was hoping that this type of setup would have given us the ability to share posts as well as users.

    Would there be a way to do this?

    Depends on how you want to share posts.

    you’re setting up your own version of wordpress.com – that’s how it works out of the box.

    Andrea_r,

    I’m not using wordpress.com. I was hoping to have a sub-domain share all posts and users to avoid having to re-style my template for mobile access.

    For example a visitor comes to domain.org and they are on a mobile device I would just add:

    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" media="handheld" href="http://m.domain.com" title="Mobile/PDA"/>

    And integrating jquery mobile the site would pull all posts from parent site as well as users.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    I know – I’m explaining that’s how multisite works.

    WordPress.com uses the multisite feature to offer blogs for their users.

    Well … there are mobile plugins for that, you know. You don’t need MultiSite for it.
