WordPress MS (Multisite) Support formerly WPMU

This guide explains how to set up a WordPress multisite network to manage multiple sites from a single WordPress installation with Infomaniak (WordPress & Apps), using URLs like site1.your-domain-here, site2.your-domain-here, or even with your-domain1.com, your-domain2.com, etc.

Installing WordPress multisite

For this:

1. install WordPress via Infomaniak on your hosting space

Then go to TOOLS in your WordPress to create a network.

Follow the instructions. You will need to:

1. remove any SSL certificates
2. deactivate WordPress plugins
    
   

Adding sites to your WP network

For this:

1. in WordPress, go back to TOOLS > Network Setup
2. choose the method of creating your different WordPress sites (on subdomains)
3. add the necessary details in wp-config.php and .htaccess on the server
4. after reconnecting to your WordPress, you will get a new "My Sites" menu where you can add and manage your different sites from the same network
    
   
    
5. on the Manager, add an alias to your site in the form *.your-domain-here (the asterisk allows you to create a wildcard alias) with DNS update so that the correct CNAME is automatically added to the zone
6. when you create a new site within the network, naming it for example site1, it will become accessible via site1.your-domain-here and so on

Subdomain and whole domain
