WordPress multi site is now included in the core file of WordPress.
You’ll need to enable multi site after you install WordPress on a web server.
Once installed, open your wp-config.php using Notepad++ and add this line of code to the file.
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
so how can i use this so that it automatically creates a site for the user on a sub domain please.
Is there a step by step guide for this
On top of this, you may want to allow your users to use their own domain rather than an extension of yours which will be a sub domain.
Here’s an excellent plugin for this purpose. http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
Why don’t you install WordPress locally using http://instantwp.com and enable multisite using the code above so you can see how it works first hand.
Yes, many guides but not as good as first hand experience
excellent, its starting to go the way i want it
i dont think my system has enough HDD space to do that lol. thanks for your help brad. im new to wordpress lol. i want my site to be like blogger were people can sign up for their own blog ect
No worries Allan
That’s exactly what it does. Its like creating your own WordPress.com
You could charge a yearly fee to maintain your hosting costs and also offer domain sales as an affiliate.
thats exactly what i want to do Brad will this plug in help me to do that
ok brad im downloading instantwp now so i’ll test everything out before i go live
Brad multisite is not available on instantwp
By default its not but maybe there’s a solution. Let me look for one.
Sorry Alan. The developer doesn’t allow it.
You may have to try Xammp or Wamp.
Personally, i use a live spare domain for testing. Good luck
