 * Hello.
 * I have been tasked to translate a website and replicate the site in a subdirectory.
   I accepted it not knowing that the page was created on WordPress. I have never
   done any web authoring on WP.
 * I face a few problems which I hope someone can help:
 * Limitation: I only have the FTP details and WP-Login details. No details bout
   the host and no access to cPanel.
 * Site Url: example.com
    WP Url: example.com/kernel
 * My initial approach was to create another installation of WP in example.com/frkernel
   
   But I was stopped short as I couldnt access the cPanel. Can I install WP via 
   FTP?
 * My next approach was to try and activate multisite; But I was stopped short in
   the create network step with the following Error: Your WordPress address must
   match your Site address before creating a Network. How can I go around this without
   risking the original site?
 * I would sincerely appreciate if anyone can roughly give me a mindmap on how to
   proceed on WP. Many thanks in advance.
 * eg.
    1: Install new WP on subdirectory / Activate Multisite 2: Clone Website 
   3: Import Clone Website and replace all links to reflect new url 4: Change the
   language used on theme/pages.

 * Use something like Blog Copier to handle 2 and 3 in one step 🙂

 * Already installed but apparently I need to enable multisite/superuser in order
   to run it.
 * so step 1 is still the bugging problem on hand… can’t even go ahead to do the
   translation… zzz, running behind schedule..

 * Well… Yes. You have to have Multisite on to use a multisite tool. That’s why 
   I said it handled steps 2 and 3, and not step one 🙂
 * Step 1) Activate Multisite
