   Hello,

   I've installed wordpress for teachers in our school (one for each),

   how to make these installations share the same themes and plugins folder...

   I create an external folder for themes and plugins...

   how to manage this issue

   ex:
   http://www.domain.com/webs/wordpress_intallation_1
   http://www.domain.com/webs/wordpress_intallation_2
   http://www.domain.com/webs/wordpress_intallation_3 .......

   http://www.domain.com/webs/shared/themes
   http://www.domain.com/webs/shared/plugins

   Use symbolic links on Linux and junctions on Windows:

   how to do it

   the themes and plugins are in:
   /home/userxxx/webs/word_press_folder_installation/wp-content/themes
   /home/userxxx/webs/word_press_folder_installation/wp-content/plugins

   the shared folder for themes and plugins will be:
   /home/userxxx/shared/themes
   /home/userxxx/shared/plugins

   SO when I add themes and plugins all the teachers can see these aditionas and can use them...

   I suggest you used Wordpress for multi user.

   Each symbolic link is created separately:
   /home/user1/webs/word_press_folder_installation/wp-content/themes is a symbolic link to
   /home/user0/shared/themes

   /home/user2/webs/word_press_folder_installation/wp-content/themes is a symbolic link to
   /home/user0/shared/themes

   etc.
