You can use the same theme and plugins, but adding the same content to every site is not obvious. You could try through RSS if you use posts, but it’s still different. If you want 4 copies of the same site, it would probably be easier to make one site and point the 4 domains to it, f.ex. with this plugin. This allows to set a different site title and tagline.
If you want anything else to be different you could try to change it in your theme (> make a child theme if you use a 3rd party theme) with an if statement.
I think something like this could work:
$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if($domain == "your1stdomain.tld" ) {
*your 1st item goes here*
}
else if($domain == "your2nddomain.tld" ) {
*your 2nd item goes here*
}
else if($domain == "your3rddomain.tld" ) {
*your 3rd item goes here*
}
else if($domain == "your4thdomain.tld" ) {
*your 4th item goes here*
}
However, from an SEO perspective it is very bad practice to have different sites with the same content. If you do that you should make sure to add a canonical URL to every page and post. You could do this with Yoast SEO.
I hope that makes sense.
GL with it!
There are several site duplicator plugins that can copy sites or use one site as a template..
Not sure if this is what you mean https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
Alan I tried using the site duplicator plugins but the problem is it just copy the pages/posts not the media.
My main site have revolution slider in it which are showing in the main site but after creating replica of it it doesn’t show slider there. Same thing happens with the images as well. If I have used a image in a page then it is not displaying it.
I use that plugin, what I do is create one sub-site to use as a master copy, then clone from that.
It copies everything exactly. I don’t use revolution slider. So perhaps that is what is causing the problems for you.
Normal media gets copied fine for me..
When I copied then it didn’t copy the media too. I have done exactly the steps which you did but didn’t work for me.
And yes the slider is giving the trouble. 🙁
Have you tried a different slider?
Or cloning a site without the slider to see if normal media gets copied?
I think the duplicator you used is works only for single wordpress sites, I have multisites in it and I used
MultiSite Clone Duplicator
plug in which copy the site to new site but didn’t copy the media and sliders data.
My apologies, posted the wrong one.
I use the free version of https://wordpress.org/plugins/ns-cloner-site-copier/
I will definitely give this plugin a try and will tell you the outcome.
Many Many thanks for your help Alan
Alan,
I tried with the plug in you suggested, initially it didn’t install properly giving some warnings and errors. I install it by direct uploading in wp-content folder. And follow the steps which are mentioned in the documentations.
It works like a charm even it copied the slider data too without any hustle.
Thanks a lot!
Glad that worked out for you. It’s strange that it did not install the first time. But anywho.. 🙂
