# [Plugin: Networks for WordPress] Subdirectory sub-blogs

 * I am running a 3.4.1 installation with multi-site enabled (sub-directory mode),
   and I’m looking for a way to install multiple sites at a single domain name, 
   in subdirectories. That is, I want to have:
 * foo.example.com (normal site, **and** root of network)
    foo.example.com/bar (**
   different** site with its own theme and users) foo.example.com/baz (another **
   different** site)
 * And also have:
 * bar.example.com (normal site)
 * I’ve installed this plug-in, and I was able to create a network at foo.example.
   com (there was an existing blog at that address). I can see the network, and 
   assign blogs to it, but I don’t see anywhere to manage those sites once I’ve 
   done that; they no longer show up in the “Sites” panel for the overall network,
   and the dashboard for foo.example.com still looks like a single site dashboard,
   without network capabilities.
 * Is there a way to do this?

 * Hi tholub –
 * You do not need to create a Network at your existing site’s current address. 
   WP will probably not serve the new network’s sites to you there, since you already
   have a network and sites at those URLs. I would delete the new Network But take
   a backup and make sure you select the right one! 🙂
 * In your case, all you need to do is create a new Network at `bar.example.com`.
   You can then create and manage `bar.example.com/[sites]` sites.
 * Creating sites like `/bar` and `/baz` is not a function of this plugin and should
   be done through WordPress’s “Sites” admin pages.
 * Please let me know if you have any further questions about this!

 * I created a new Network [test.upsic.org](http://test.upsic.org/) but I do not
   see a way to create test.upsic.org/[sites], only [sites].test.upsic.org is/are
   available. How I can do this?
 * EDIT
    The test.upsic.org Network are on a subdomains Multisite installation. 
   If I need to create test.upsic.org/[sites] the Multisite installation must be
   a subfolders one?

 * I tried that, but without success! :((. Now, when I try to create a new Network,
   I have this error:
 *     ```
       DNS: New domain IP ( ) does not match current IP ( xxx.xx.xx.xxx ).
       Check your DNS settings.
       ```
