Generally speaking you need to change the port your virtual machine uses to port 80, which will allow you to use “normal looking” domains, like e.g. The codex explains this within the Network Admin section. Please beware: Multisite does NOT work on your local machine if your WordPress address is “localhost” or an IP like 127.0.0.1. We certainly do not hack live sites if there is any other option. If you are like me you are a bit nervous about this and want to try it in your local development environment first. And How About Multisite and Virtual Hosts? Now, all that’s left to do is to get a 301 redirect in place to redirect your regular visitors from your old structure to the new one. You can use a “search and replace” plugin to check if there are any old URLs left in the database (I like Better Search Replace or Search & Replace). Now you can go ahead and change the URLs of your blogs to resemble the new structure, for example:Įn. has to be changed to /en
#Mamp wordpress multisite subdirectory code#
(You’ll find all the code examples in the network section of the WordPress codex.)
#Mamp wordpress multisite subdirectory install#
htaccess file, this is the example one for SUBFOLDER install if you started your multisite with WordPress version 3.5 or higher: RewriteEngine On Although WP Migrate DB is a great WordPress database. To read define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false ) The free version also supports WordPress multisite and is compatible with all hosting providers. If you want to go from subdomain to subfolder, you first need to change define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true ) Wait, do I really need to say, please back up your site BEFORE you go any further?ĭone? Alright, let’s go. (You’ll find all the information you need in the “Multisite Network Administration” section of the WordPress codex.) Since we only had language appreviations for site names (de for German, en for English,…) I felt we would be safe to go. The only reason for this, however, seems to be that you might run into conflicts between page names and actual site names. It’s been a while and I never doubted this.
When we first created the network, we used the subdomain install because it said right there in the WordPress codex that you should not use the subfolder approach if your website had been set up for longer than a month. So after checking all options, I realized everything would be so easy if we just could change the network from the domain based network (“subdomain” install) it was into a path based one (“subfolder” install). Today, with wanting to have SSL on all sites, this slowly grew into a nightmare. A few years ago we changed a multilingual blog into a WordPress Multisite network using MultilingualPress for the multilingual part.
