I mean: if I erase a couple of unused “first test” sub_sites, I shouldn’t find – as a “collateral damage” – another whole _good sub\_site_ erased from the DB ! I didn’t do anything else but that.

I checked exactly what You suggested with the link: * on my PhPMyAdmin page, on the left there’s the WP Multisite (only) database, with its #3 subs (#0 main + #2 #5 and#6) There’s a scary thing: if I open the drop down list on the left it gives me all the directories of the disappeared“ wp_2” missing sub site, that is: * wp_2+commentmeta/comments/links/ngg_album/ngg_gallery/options/postmeta/posts/ terms/term_relationships/term_taxonomy ; * …but – at the same time – _there’s is not any wp\_2 content inside !_ (and into the page _there’s not any wp\_2 reported_ in the list of contents ! ). * If I click on the left side over one voice of the list I get this warning: * **#1146 – Table ‘xyz.wp_2_posts’ doesn’t exist**, * …and so forth for all the other voices of the sub-database. * I remember 2 days ago I erased two other unused/test sub-sites (#3 and #4): could that affect the involuntary erase of the #2 ?? (but how ?!) * Now: I have the backups (as I’m using the “Updraft” plugin): is that possible to re-insert the wp_2 sub-site ? How to operate this ? Can you suggest a protocol to follow ? Any link/tutorial ? * Thanks ! * Finfab * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Sub-domain site (one out of 3 subs) of a WP multisite disappeared](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-site-one-out-of-3-subs-of-a-wp-multisite-disappeared/) * Thread Starter [Finfab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finfab/) * (@finfab) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-site-one-out-of-3-subs-of-a-wp-multisite-disappeared/#post-4569874) * Thank You very much MS.

Also: I considered that in this case the sub-domains should not be managed independently from each user, but supervised/managed by the multiweb administrator himself. I think I found my choice to start with. **Subfolders** Once again : Thank You ! * All the best * Finfab * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: ["DOMAIN" vs. "PATH" subsites ?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-vs-path-subsites/) * Thread Starter [Finfab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finfab/) * (@finfab) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-vs-path-subsites/#post-4271789) * Good morning Mr. Epstein, * well – I’m a newbie (I’m practicing from scratch), so I exactly have _no idea_ about the different approach and technical complexities of the 2 structures ( as I read from the “Before You Create a Network” advice here). Well, if You could suggest a couple of links to let me reflect how and why one choice is more suitable/easier to build + manage for my little structure (the sub-sites won’t be more than 10), I’ll be glad. * All my best. * Finfab Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
