# xampp multisite

 * I’ve just followed instructions on setting up WordPress in XAMPP to support multisite.
   However, I’m at a loss as to how to actually going about creating additional 
   sites without installing additional instances of WP (which I think defeats the
   purpose?). My initial thought was that the “New” menu item should include “Site”
   within its list of options. However, I didn’t find it there. I’m now at a loss.
   
   Help?

 * What’s your URL of your website? So I can take a closer look of your site.
    If
   you have WordPress installed for the first time… and it’s a single site, and 
   you wanted a multisite; you may need to edit the wp-config.php file. If you were
   planning on using subdomains, you must have a **\*** set as a wildcard subdomain
   by going to your hosting control panel: [http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-via-subdomains-need-a-wildcard-subdomain-in-order-for-these-subdomain-based-sites-to-work/](http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-via-subdomains-need-a-wildcard-subdomain-in-order-for-these-subdomain-based-sites-to-work/).
   However; as you launch your multisite, and create subsites; you need content 
   that is interesting and unique: [http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-needs-to-be-unique-and-informative/](http://news.fairiesdreamsfantasy.com/wordpress-multisites-needs-to-be-unique-and-informative/),,
   if you’re not sure what to write on your WordPress multisite… see this article:

   Please tell me the steps to reproduce a problem,–so I can further take a closer
   look of your site issues. If a working URL isn’t provided… I’m aren’t able to
   view your site.

 * Hi Rider –
    I’m actually doing this locally, so no actual URL, just localhost.
   Here’s a snipet from my config file, if that helps… define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
 * define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’,true);
 * define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
    define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false); define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’,‘
   localhost’); define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’); define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’,
   1); define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

 * If you want subdomains for your multisite; replace false with true for subdomain
   install. If you’re not sure; refer to the WordPress codex: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network/](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network/).

   I get an error that the database tables need to be repaired.
