Hi

1. Same content
2. Two Domains ( ONE.com, TWO.com)

tried with WordPress Creat A Network and WordPress MU Domain Mapping.

But not solved my problem.

See “Create A Network” will enable creating multiple sites like subdomain, subfolders. but new wordpress tables created, wp2_, wp3_
for adding posts.

wordpress MU domain mapping, it redirects and mask the URL with new domain name, but you can more domains, but all redirects to primary DOMAIN.

– ONE.com ( standalone wordpress)
– ONE.com/SUBFolder (created by using CREATE A NETWORK)
– installed WordPress MU Domain Mapping
– then added TWO.com and THREE.com for ONE.com/Subfolder website, by domain mapping.

– TWO.com is set as Primary domain, while domain mapping
– Three.com also redirects to TWO.com.. but i want TWO.com separate and THREE.com, even i can use the same theme.

please any ideas help me out.

thanks

Do you have two separate WordPress installations? One Standalone and one Multisite? Or, are they all in one Network?

If I’m understanding you correctly, it sounds like you want to auto-copy the posts from one site to another.

I haven’t tried any of them, but check out these potential solutions:

FWIW, I used the WPMU Multisite Content Copier and it worked for exactly this purpose. Although, there was a slight delay as the copier only ran every 5 minutes.

The problem I ran into was that it almost exactly doubled the server space usage as not only were the articles copied, but all associated media as well. It wasn’t an elegant solution.

In the end, I installed a JSON API plugin on SITE1 and then wrote some code to pull post data from SITE1 into pages of SITE2 in real-time so that only a single copy of the data existed on SITE1.

General warning: Be VERY cautious whenever you’re 100% duplicating sites, as this can have horrible impact on your SEO.

I would not recommend Multisite for this venture, ever, since Multisite is meant for multiple separate sites, with separate content. Sharing some content is understandable (though it can and should be avoided with few exceptions), but the more places you let a user go for information, the more confused they become. You dilute yourself 🙂

That will duplicate posts to a ‘tags’ site, but link back to the REAL site. Good for SEO and readers.

Question…

Say I want to use multisite to manage multiple cancer blogs for a single organization. Each type of cancer would have its own blog (breast, lung, etc.). And I have my primary site as the main organizational blog. I want to feed all the posts from each of the individual cancer blogs into the one primary site…how can I do that?

Thanks so much!!

brighttribeblog, I use the Sitewide Tags plugin Ipstenu mentioned above to do just that on nccumc.org. Works great!
