• Currently I manage 14 sites all under one company each site has their own dedicated domain on the same Linux server. All sites are currently static because each site contains no more than 8-10 pages I also use a single navigation script because each site has the same navigation that points to each of the other sites. I want to create one WP template that can be customized to each individual site for example ( each site will have their own branding, photos, copy, external links, header-footer, blog and photo gallery).

    Can this be done, how can it be done?

    thanks in advance.

  • Are you asking about using Multisite? If so, see:

    I’m also moving this thread to the multisite forum.

    I’m not 100% sure if multisite is my answer I did read it but I do have a few questions….

    14 seperate domains on one server plus the main domain will be in the public_html folder. Each domain has its own (blog, gallery and webpages, some sites are bilingual and some sites will have a spring and fall sites that will both fall under the same url.

    For example when a spring show is live the fall show will not show under the url but still needs to be accessible possibly as a archived site.

    For this reason with all of the multisite and functions needed should I install wordpress into each folder and customize them individually?
    thank you

    Another note: Each subfolder has its own url and is directed to the proper folder.

    Another follow up, with the said configurations can I install widgets to individual sites and not others?

    With multisite yes, you can install widgets to individual sites and not others

    Thanks Mika, I know I have many questions I do read the unlimited wordpress resources but some questions are not as easy to find.

    This is what my current static html site setup is, I would like to start fresh with a multisite setup.

    The site has a main corporate site which links to 14 individual event sites each individual site also has links to all other sites ( i do this using a js script, one file changes all). Some event sites are bilingual (no problem) with wordpress but some sites use the same url for both a spring and fall show, for example: I design the spring show it is live for 2 months prior to the show and when the show is over I move all files to a “url…/spring/ folder” and then point all the site links to it. Then I design the fall show and place all the new html files into the /url/ folder then go live.

    Can a multisite wordpress set up do this.

    thank you
