Hello Jan,
Thanks for the advice.
I am creating a multiple sites under one domain name with the same theme but different contents. In each sites will have it’s own sign up and sign out functionality. The users need to sign up in the main site – site.com first before the users can sign up the sub sites – site.com/a, site.com/b, site.com/c, site.com/d, site.com/e. Users can use the same sign up details and password to the sub sites.
I need a plugin that allow the users to sign in in the main site and will be automatically sign in to rest sub sites. One SignIn in the main site and SignIn the rest.
I need your help on this please.
Thank you.
You’re best bet is likely to set up WordPress as a Network.
Also, I have not used this, but this plugin sounds like it’ll add the users to each site and you can choose which role they end up with.
Good Luck!
Hello WeissMike,
Thanks for the reply.
I want to know if i will use the multisite functionality, can i install wordpress on each sub sites?
Please give me your advice.
Thank you.
No, no need to do that. The sub-sites all run off the root installation. The sub-site slugs cannot match any actual sub-folder name or else WP will never see the request. While there’s several tables in common, content related tables are unique to each sub-site.
You’ll create the sub sites within WordPress.
After setting up the WordPress Network, it’ll listen for subdomains or directories that match your new site slugs. As bcworkz said, if you create the directory for the sub site, it’ll go directly to that.
What we have done in the past to have many sub sites with the same themes/plugins/settings is set one up the way we want it, and use a plugin to clone the site. There are many of those out there, but we have used NS Cloner and the WPMU New Blog Templates to quickly create a new site quickly.
Hello Weissmike,
I already created more sites under one domain name. Each site have its own wordpress installed and have its own signup/login featutes. What i need is a plugin that when you login the main website (site.com) it will automatically login to the sub sites (site.com/a, site.com/b & site.com/c). Please help me point the right plugin for this.
Many thanks.
