• I have a copy of WordPress running in MAMP on my Mac. I have been using it to check my blog’s appearance before moving up onto the net. Lately, I’ve been asked by a non-profit to help them in developing their own WordPress based website. To do that, I need to install their site on my local WordPress and at the same time not muck up my blog. To that end I’ve done what I understand to be the necessary steps to enable multisite, specifically to add the line:

    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’,true);

    directly beneath the line:

    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    in the wp-cofig.php file. Then, I restarted the web server. According to WordPress All-In-One for Dummies, I should log in to the Dashboard and under tools see a Network Setup link. But Since that link does not show up, I’m assuming that I’m missing a step. Can anyone help me out here?

    Thanks,
    Rob Tanner

  • Hello, Rob, & welcome. You can find an article in the codex here:
    https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Create_A_Network
    but, having said that, this is not the way I personally would go about it, in case it makes any difference. I’d do a separate install of WordPress locally, ie, mampp/htdocs/nonprofit. I’m not precisely certain what the web root folder for Mampp is, for Xampp it’s htdocs, so I used that, but please substitute as appropriate.

    Please let us know if you have additional questions. Good luck, both to you & your NPO.
