Two WordPress sites with one media folder

    Hi there,

    I would like to set up two WordPress sites that would use one folder for media files – “Media Library”.

    For example:
    WordPres “Site 1”: http://www.domainwp9.com – default site – default media folder
    WordPres “Site 2”: http://www.domainwp9.com/site2/ – would use media folder from “Site 1”

    In that case if I upload file on “Site 1” files would be automatically seen on “Site 2” Media Library.

    I would like to avoid uploading specific files that are needed on both sites two times.

    How can I do this?

    The problem is that images aren’t just shoved into a folder. The database tracks a fair bit of information about each image. That means to share the folder you have to somehow share or synchronize parts of the database(s) as well. You can always manually link to images from another site, but to get the media library to work it is going to take some significant custom code.
