    Thanks for the reply, esmi.

    She wishes to be able to pick the widgets that suit the content of a particular page, if that makes sense?

    For example, if the article she was writing was about motorcycles, then the widgets and sidebar content may need to change to reflect that, but only on that single page.

    Ordinarily, in such a case I’d probably try to produce a “motorcycle” template with a sidebar with unique name for that page. The problem is that there could be any number of these pages and future content is not predictable!

    Any suggestions appreciated!!!

    Hi,

    Just to bump an old thread I found – I’m having the same issue.

    I will get around to trying MU very soon.

    However, is it actually possible to run distinct sites from the same WP install? For example, I host three sites and counting, based on wordpress, on the same server. They exist in different domains and are served using virtual hosting.

    It’s a bit of a pain to upgrade them all – especially since I limit the areas of the filesystem to which WP can write, ruling out auto-upgrade. I don’t particularly want to give write permissions to the WP install files to the apache process (other than uploads folder).

    I was thinking that maybe I could have one install, with different wp-config files to point WP at the database for that particular site. I’d then just use a plugin “pool” in the single installation, with each site only activating the plugins it actually uses.

    Thanks,
    Iain

    Yes, you should be able to do that no problem. You would need to look at developing a new theme for your installation. I ran through this tutorial not so long ago :-

    http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-themes-templates-tutorial/

    I’m not sure about admin approval of profile updates (I’m new to WordPress too), but I’d imagine you could probably write a plugin if there isn’t one already available that meets your requirements.

    Someone with better knowledge than me will probably be along soon to help you out 🙂

    Hi henkholland,

    I’ll take a look at that site – thanks!
