   Hello.

   I have been tasked to translate a website and replicate the site in a subdirectory. I accepted it not knowing that the page was created on WordPress. I have never done any web authoring on WP.

   I face a few problems which I hope someone can help:

   Limitation: I only have the FTP details and WP-Login details. No details bout the host and no access to cPanel.

   Site Url: example.com
   WP Url: example.com/kernel

   My initial approach was to create another installation of WP in example.com/frkernel
   But I was stopped short as I couldnt access the cPanel. Can I install WP via FTP?

   My next approach was to try and activate multisite; But I was stopped short in the create network step with the following Error: Your WordPress address must match your Site address before creating a Network. How can I go around this without risking the original site?

   I would sincerely appreciate if anyone can roughly give me a mindmap on how to proceed on WP. Many thanks in advance.

   eg.
   1: Install new WP on subdirectory / Activate Multisite
   2: Clone Website
   3: Import Clone Website and replace all links to reflect new url
   4: Change the language used on theme/pages.

   Use something like Blog Copier to handle 2 and 3 in one step :)

   Already installed but apparently I need to enable multisite/superuser in order to run it.

   so step 1 is still the bugging problem on hand... can't even go ahead to do the translation... zzz, running behind schedule..

   Well... Yes. You have to have Multisite on to use a multisite tool. That's why I said it handled steps 2 and 3, and not step one :)

   Step 1) Activate Multisite
