 * Hello carpconnect,
 * Yes, multisite works on all modern versions of WordPress, including beta.
 * The easiest way that I enable WordPress is by using a Managed WordPress Host.
   They usually have a checkbox in the Control Panel that converts a Single Install
   to a MultiSite. It’s pretty cool! The same feature reverts MultiSites to Single
   Installs.
 * Hope something I said I was helpful.
 * Have a great day!

 * Multisite works fine on WP 5.0 betas. But what ‘wp-settings.php’ file are you
   editing? You’re supposed to edit `wp-config.php`

 * Thanks for replies,
 * i already have muiltisite (v4) running on server, but wanted to test out V5.
 * wp-settings.php
 *     ```
       /**
        * Used to set up and fix common variables and include
        * the WordPress procedural and class library.
        *
        * Allows for some configuration in wp-config.php (see default-constants.php)
   
       // Initialize multisite if enabled.
       if ( is_multisite() ) {
       	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-site-query.php' );
       	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-network-query.php' );
       	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/ms-blogs.php' );
       	require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/ms-settings.php' );
       } elseif ( ! defined( 'MULTISITE' ) ) {
       	define( 'MULTISITE', false );
       }
       ```
   
 * So question is, does setting up multisite change in WP V5?
 * Do just set this to ‘true’? or do you still need to edit wp-config.php and .htaccess
   files?
 * thanks

 * Oh that’s not Multisite. Rather, that’s not NORMAL multisite. At all.

 * You never edit wp-settings.php for any of this. You just edit wp-config.
 * I’m using Multisite and the 5.0 beta right now and it’s just peachy, so you’ve
   done something uniquely weird.

 * Marking resolved due to no reply in 5 days, and no one else can reproduce this
   issue.
