Create multiple sites using same database

    Hi, as far as I can tell this is not a duplicate question (though not totally sure)…

    I would like to have one database holding all wordpress content, and multiple sites within different sub-directories (mysite.com/site1, mysite.com/site2, etc).

    Each sub-directory (site) would only display specific categories. So let’s say category 1 posts/pages would display at mysite.com/site1 and category 2 posts/pages would display at mysite.com/site2.

    But all content would be administered, edited, uploaded, etc to the one database.

    It’s completely possible that I’ve overcomplicated a simple thing, let me know if i have! And if i’m on the right track, then what’s the best way to go about doing this? Is it through Multisite? It seems it would work with multisite, and instead of creating the categories to filter content to the appropriate site you would just create whole new sites, all administered through one interface.

    Thank you! Joel.

    This is precisely what Multisite was made for Joel, create as many sub-sites as you need with whichever categories you require and add posts to the necessary sub-sites, all via a single WordPress admin area, with all data stored in a single database.

    Hope this helps.

    Ok, great! I wasn’t sure from the tutorials on multisite if it was what I was looking for. I’ll go through the process and see how it goes…

    Thanks again! Joel.
