Wordpress: Enable multi site

Will expand at some point but here is the gist of it: mkdir wp-content/blogs.dir chmod 777 blogs.dir

• First enable multi site on config

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

• enable in tools/network - In admin, installs asks to add this/ asked by install

• Modify wp-config.php:

define('MULTISITE', true); define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false); $base = '/'; define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'blog.webdevpower.com'); define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/'); define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1); define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

• enable plugins

• modify .htaccess
