2. What? • Sinse WordPress 3.0 • Create multiple virtual sites to share a single WordPress installation o Sub-domains — a domain-based network (http://site.domain.gr) o Sub-directories — a path-based network (http://www.domain.gr/site) • Similar to WordPress.com • Sites Created on demand by: o Administrator o Users
3. Pros? • Create multiple virtual websites from one WordPress installation. • Network Update (Wordpress, Themes, Plugins). • Different domains on every network site. • Users can be shared across many websites. • Grant access to users to create their own websites.
4. Cons? • Some plugins do not work with Multisite. • Individual site admins access: o They can’t add remove plugins & themes o There is no access to files (Theme & Plugins) • Network Update : Every change affects all sites. • More memory per page than a standalone site. • Single database.
