    Hi,

    I already have my WP website https://example.com in a Database called “database0”. Now I want to install new WP in a sub directory for instance https://example.com/support

    I also want to have membership in my WP site, so that when a customer/subscriber create user in my website, their profile is accessible from both main website and the sub directory.

    In public_html I created a folder called “support” and now I want to install WP.

    My question is that: Is is correct/better performance/safer

    to create New Database and New User

    or keep the main Database “database0” but new “Table Prefix”

    or keep the main Database and just create a New User inside the original Database “database0” created for root website?

    thanks

    If you want completely separate sites, install the new site in the sub-folder using a new database, or a different database prefix. That way the two sites will stay separate and not interact with each other.

    If you want to do more, and you said that you wanted to share user profile,s you’d be better off setting up a Network site with a second site as the sub-folder.
