• Hi there,

    I have a few questions. I am trying to accomplish this site structure:

    mysite.com/landing-page-where-users-can-choose-their-location/location-specific-site (ie US or Asia or Europe)

    Right now, the site is running multisite from mysite.com and currently has a live subdirectory running at mysite.com/subdirectory/

    My question is: what is the easiest way to build out the above configuration (mysite.com/landing-page-where-users-can-choose-their-location/location-specific-site-that-is-a-full-website-and-can’t-be-child-pages-of-“choose-your-location”). Is it at all possible?

    I tried installing wordpress on a test domain to try out my proposed site structure. At mysite2.com (which has WP installed), I created a subfolder within my hosting (not a multisite) at mysite2.com/subdirectory/ and then installed wordpress at the/subdirectory/ level and then tried allowing multisite from mysite.com/subdirectory/ and it didn’t work.

    Next I’m going to try deleting /subdirectory/, and allowing multisite from mysite2.com and seeing what I can do from there (which is more like the current live structure at mysite.com). But I noticed that when you try to create a new site from mysite.com/subdirectory/subsubdirectory/, it gives you an invalid URL type and doesn’t allow the site creation.

    Is my best line of action just getting rid of multisite and creating subfolders within my hosting and then creating subsubfolder within that and doing separate WP installs?

    EX:

    • mysite.com (WP installed)
    • mysite.com/subdirectory (no WP installed, just landing page)
    • mysite.com/subdirectory/Americas (WP installed)
    • mysite.com/subdirectory/Asia(WP installed)
    • mysite.com/subdirectory/Europe (WP installed)

    Anyway, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Make your networks for your ‘landing-page-where-users-can-choose-their-location` thing.

    Mind… Why?

    mysite.com/subdirectory/Americas is a WEIRD url to have.

    mysite.com/Americas/UnitedStates makes sense.

    mysite.com/Americas/mysitename makes sense.

    mysite.com/somelongname/Americas/MySitename is weird.

    Thank you for the plugin 🙂

    Trust me, I find it weird as well, but that’s the structure the client wants.

    I honestly feel like it could just be mysite.com/Americas or mysite.com/wherever, but that’s just what they want… Le client est roi. Thanks again.
