After learning about and know what wordpress multisite is install
wordpress is very simple you just need to take two steps to install wordpress
multisite in this tutorial I will guide you to work on a parent website with
domain name hatachi.com of course you can choose any domain name as long as it
is pre-installed wordpress.
If you are in the process of learning you should install
wordpress multisite in a new website to avoid affecting the main website if the
installation fails.
Enable wordpress multisite
Now you open the wp-config.php file of the parent site to
enable wordpress multisite and insert the following code below
<?php.
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
 |
But before proceeding with the installation we have to
determine, we will use wordpress multisite anyway. There are currently two
types
Subdomain: Child
websites will have the address format subdomain of the parent website. Example:
wordpress.hatachi.com, theme.hatachi.com, plugins.hatachi.com…on so on. And if
you use this type you will need to set up a DNS wildcard as instructed below.
Sub-directory: Child websites will have addresses the same format as the subfolder. Example: hatachi.com/wordpress,
hatachi.com/theme, hatachi.com/plugins….on so on
In the Network Details section, enter the name and email
address of the highest administrator.
Then press the install button to start the installation it
will move you to the next page and start inserting the code into the file as
instructed. Specifically, insert the
above code into the <? Php in wp-config.php and the code behind is to
replace the existing code in .htaccess (if you use a Shared Host or Apache
Webserver)
If tou use NGIGX
If you want to use NGINX as a webserver with PHP-FPM, we
encourage you to use EasyEngine and install WordPress website with Multisite
feature available on order:
ee
site create domain.com --wpsubdom # use subdomain for subsite
ee
site create domain.com --wpsubdir # use subdirectory for subsite
After inserting the code as required you click log in to login. And now you will
see on the admin menu there is my site to access the subsite
So we have finished installing WordPress Multisite.
ESTABLISH WILDCARD DNS
If you use the subdomain subdomain path, you must set the
DNS wildcard by adding a record to DNS as follows:
* IN A 127.0.0.1
EPILOGUE
In this section you have successfully activated the
WordPress Multisite feature, the only remaining is the creation of sub-sites,
administration and optimization for it. These sections will be covered in the
next article.
