In reply to: trying to determine whether to use multisite or single site…helpSo I installed wordpress multisite Monday and am just about finished rebuilding/overhauling the website.
Next is adding the chapter pages so I started reading about the child themes as suggested. I think maybe I should’ve done that before nearly finishing the main site?? It’s not too late to do that is it?
Then I’d just activate the child theme on the chapter sites as I start building those and it’ll look the same (colors, header img, etc) as the main site, right?

In reply to: trying to determine whether to use multisite or single site…helpThank you again, David! I will take a look at the links you provided tomorrow and then discuss it with the national president. My brain is wore out now and I’m about ready to call it a day. I appreciate your help.

In reply to: trying to determine whether to use multisite or single site…helpThanks, David. Is there documentation on how to setup the wildcard DNS on the server? And info on setting up child themes?
The thing that concerns me is that I can’t take down the current site on the main domain right now to start over in wordpress and I’ve read that it’s difficult to get the multisite working properly if you don’t install it directly to the domain. But installing it directly to the domain would get rid of what’s currently there.
Currently, there is an online private forum with login credentials for the chapter presidents that is on a google platform. That’s really the only concern I have about that, but I may be able to link to it on the new site? And then hopefully find a plugin on wp that can do the same thing to replace it with. I’d have to convince the national president of that.
I haven’t setup the subdomains yet because I’m not sure what to do about the whole I-can’t-take-the-current-site-down thing for a clean successful install. If I can link to the google login for the forum, I may be able to convince the national president to let me do it in the middle of the night or something. 🙂
Regarding the chapter pages, I would have the super admin role and would assign an author role to the chapter president so they can maintain their own subdomain. The national president and myself would be the only ones that would have complete access and then only the chapter presidents would be able to maintain their chapter’s site.
So…how much of a pain, or how difficult would it be, to create the main page on the temporary IP address for testing, and then changing to the primary domain later?
