On Pressable, you have the ability to create a network of sites on a single WordPress install by using the multisite feature.
To convert your site into a multisite, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Allow Multisite
You’ll first need to enable the ‘Network Setup’ menu item in the WP dashboard. To do this, you must define and allow the multisite in the wp-config.php file which is located within the /htdocs directory of your site.
Open up wp-config.php and then add this line directly above where it says /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:
/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
Step 2: Setup the Network
Now that you enabled the Network Setup option in the previous step, you can open up the ‘Tools’ menu within the site’s WP dashboard. There will be a new option which shows ‘Network Setup’.
After clicking Tools > Network Setup, you’ll see a page where you can enter a title for your multisite and define a network admin email address:
NOTE: You may be prompted to disable all of your plugins prior to being able to view the Network Setup page. If so, go to Plugins > All Plugins and select all plugins on your site and disable them and reload the Network Setup page.
Pressable only supports sub-domain multisite setups for 5+ site plans (Advanced or greater). If you have a High Traffic Plan and want to use the Sub-domains setup, then please make sure to select it during the setup and also ensure that the Multisite Support option is enabled in the site settings on the MyPressable Control Panel. Otherwise, the Sub-directories option under ‘Addresses of Sites in your Network’ must be selected.
Step 3: Enable the Network
After clicking the ‘Install’ button in the previous step, you will see a page called Enabling the Network along with several lines of code which will need to be added to your wp-config.php file:
Copy the network configuration rules, open up the wp-config.php file, and paste them directly above the line that says /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:
Save the updated wp-config.php file and then reload the WP dashboard.
Step 4: Manage Your Network
In the WP dashboard, there will now be a ‘My Sites’ option in the top toolbar. You can hover over this option to access the multisite options, including adding sub-sites, managing plugins, and changing the network settings:
