    I want to create two different web site address (www.mysite1.com) and (www.mysite2.com) that use the same database and have the same posts content
    In config.php I changed the prefix of the two instalation by
    wp1_ for http://www.mysite1.com and wp2_ for http://www.mysite1.com
    and it did not work

    both websites (www.mysite1.com) and (www.mysite2.com) have a different web adress and a different theme and a different logo but the same posts

    You dont state exactly what you want. Do you want two WP sites with the same posts, pages, theme, multimedia files, etc? Or do you want to only share posts and/or pages?

    What you stated above is not WP multisite, you installed two separate single WP sites… so the topic should not really be in this forum.

    If you only want to share posts between two sites, then what you proposed above would not work. Creating two sites in the same database with different prefixes, still creates two completely separate sites (WRT db data)… meaning nothing is shared between the two WP sites.

    What you want could be accomplished via plugin, but I have no experience with that type of functionality. Hopefully someone else can recommend a plugin that does something similar. Note that what you want could be accomplished with WP multisite, but again you would still need a plugin to share the post data.
