How to have Multiple Blogs on this Installation

First Things First

Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I'm proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we're dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.

Initiating Multi Blogs in Wordpress.

This will NOT work unless you have installed in the root directory of your site.

Follow these steps

1. If you did not choose the Multiple option at installation
   • Logout
   • Edit the file wp-config.php and change the line
     define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', false);
     to
     define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
2. Login as the administrator.
3. (Strongly recommended step) Dashboard -> Settings -> General -
   • Change 'http://www.make-money-software.com' to 'http://make-money-software.com' for Wordpress address (URL) and Site address (URL). I.E. remove 'www.' from each.
   • Tick 'Anyone can register'
   • Click 'Save Changes'
   • Login again - if you have difficulty just clear cookies.
4. Tools -> Network
   • The apache mod_rewrite module has been installed. You need take no action.
   • Addresses of Sites in your Network - choose Sub-domains (recommended).
   • Click 'Install'
   • New screen - ignore the warning - your DNS already has a * hostname record.
   • The blogs.dir directory has already been created for you; skip this step
   • Edit wp-config.php and paste in the code as per screen instructions.
   • Remember to reset the permissions on file wp-config.php to 0600.
   • Edit .htaccess and paste in the code as per screen instructions.
   • Click 'Log in' at bottom of page

Hover on My Sites (left end of top navigation bar). The drop down will contain "| Network Admin |", and a list of sites
Click on Network Admin to go to Network admin where you can add users and blogs (a.k.a sites).
Click on a site to go to Site admin from which you can get a dashboard for a particular site.
