• We have one website with six different WordPress installed on six different data bases. We have one area for news, then forecast area, members area, store, surf school, reports. The idea is different people can log into different areas also it offers more space.

    Problem I would like to display content say from the news area on the front page of the website using widgets etc. also images using a slide show etc. rss shows the rss icon it also limits appearance options and other theme options.

    Is there a way to share content between the data bases and the WordPress platforms they are all hosted on the same account.

    Do you mean that you have 6 different separate WordPress single sites? Perhaps that are all using the same theme, but are actually distinct sites with separate logins and separate databases?

    There are some plugins to display the content from one site in another, but this is also something that you could use the REST API for.

    It is the same website domain name. Northleastsurfing.com.. but for above reasons we are using different wordpress installed on different databases yes. So they are different but it is the same domain name only difference would be like this, /forecast /store /academy /reports

    I’m not able to access your site. Just to make sure I’m understanding: You have 6 separate WP sites, one in the main domain, then another in domain.com/forcast, etc.?

    You would have to go a LONG way before you “ran out of space” — there are multisites with thousands of sites in one database. Separating them does allow you to segregate where the logged in users can get to.

    There are a few plugins to share the content from one site to another, but I think you are probably going to need to use the WP REST API for what you are proposing. That’s definitely beyond basic skills level (for instance, what I would be able to do), and depending on your own skill level, you might need to hire someone to set it up for you.

    BTW, while you are technically dealing with multiple WP sites, “WP multisite” means a network of WP sites that all share the same core files, database & users.

    A friend of mine developed this plugin that sounds like it would do what you want: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/posts-in-page/
    I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like it might work.

    As I understand it, you have one domain setup with six WordPress installs in sub-directories.
    A MultiSite works a little different than that.
    As a MultiSite administrator, you login to a single WordPress install and you have control over all the websites installed under that one umbrella.
    There is also a MultiSite plugin that allows a user to register on one of the sites and they’re automatically enrolled (registered) in all the sites.

    You could convert your primary WordPress installation and then migrate your individual WordPress installs into it.
    There’s a plugin that does that too: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wordpress-importer/
