    Hello,
    Not a coder, I think I can manage the multisite thing. However, I would like to know if I can switch my current website to a multisite, or if that is something that should have been done on creation.
    If I switch, what happens to the site on the root domain ? Is it still working as is and the other websites are added on top or does it need to become a sub domain, with a specific name ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Hi, @she-elf.

    Yes, you can switch your current site to a multisite installation, by following the instructions in Create a Network.

    The key difference between doing this on a fresh installation of WordPress and doing it on an existing installation is that if your site has been around for a month or longer (based on the oldest post date) then you won’t be able to choose between subdomains or subdirectories, as subdomains will be forced automatically.

    If I switch, what happens to the site on the root domain ?

    Nothing as far as I know (or have ever seen during the last few years of converting several of my own single-site installations to Multisite instead).
