    I’m building a site for a small nonprofit I volunteer with. I’ve been researching whether it would be wise to use Multisite for two days now and just get so much contradictory info.

    I’m hoping if I list how I need the site to function, that I’ll get some good advice.

    1. The public face of the website will be pretty straightforward charity site stuff. It will have a donation area that uses an e-commerce plugin.

    2. Translations. We’re a literacy organization and teach quite a few Spanish and Russian speakers. I need several pages to offer translations to these languages.

    3. I need a member-only section for the organizations’ board members and staff. It will have protected documents with the ability for users with permissions to upload and download documents and interact with a private calendar. It will also offer staff the ability to access our volunteer and donor databases.

    4. I need a volunteer-only section with forums and your general Buddypress and bbpress and allow volunteers to post blogs that will go on the publicly viewable blog.

    Should I use Multi? Will a single site do the trick?

    I also need our staff to be able to handle the site’s maintenance and content changes.

    Many thanks in advance.

    From what you’ve said I can’t see a reason for a multi-site set up. The only thing that’s close is the multi-language translation, but there’s some good plugins out there that can handle that without adding in a multisite set up. Everything else will run fine, and probably better, on a standard single-site install.

    Like catacaustic said, you don’t quite need a multi-site for your case. For the member-only issue, you may wanna check out this plugin:

    And here is a video tutorial link to learn the steps for configuration. Hope that helps
