I’m trying to build a WordPress multisite.
I want clients to be able to fill out information for a template site, upload pictures, videos and possibly files.
Is this something that can be done using WordPress? I considered using a page builder like Beaver Builder but I don’t think it will work. At least that’s what they told me.
I also wanted to have it where clients can choose their own urls such as www.example.com/choose-your-url.
What’s the best way to go about this?
You have to create a Network in your wordpress setup.
1. Allow Multisite in your config.php file. Add this code:
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
Install Network under Administration > Tools > Network Setup
Add your site under My site menu on top right.

I am a big fan of WordPress multisite. Please Follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpFGRCj2R9g

I was developing a website in wordpress with usage of plugins Envato Elements and Elementor, and after I was almost done I wanted to set my new homepage and I accidentally created Redirect loop and now I can't access wp-admin, its hosted on google cloud which don't offer technical support for free trial. I tried to disable plugins by changing name of plugins folder to plugins_disable but I have problems using mv command which is not only renaming but moving files... I maybe need to change that in database but I have no idea how, can you please check that out and point me in good direction?

I am not familiar with how to set up multisite in WordPress in which I can create multisite in one WordPress installation. I need help, please step by step explain me how to do that?
Here is the rules of creating multi site,
rule 1:
Under the line where it says "That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. "
add the following code:
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
rule 2:Go to admin panel,Tools > Network Setup
Then read the instruction for htaccess page and wp-config.php page
Then follow the instruction
Now your website is multi site website.You can easily create any sub domain site.
Yashpal Modi,
It is long process if you are technical person than please add below code to your wp-config.php and than check your admin panel you will get the network section form where you can create multisites.
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
If you are non technical or you are facing some issue for further process.
Please check this link and follow the steps it is very simple and easy. let me know if you have any query.
If you are not deeply familiar with WordPress settings, that might be a better option to go with a pre-configured package that already includes multisite setup. This can be a cluster or standalone package.
After installation, multisite mode is automatically enabled and the websites can be created in one of the following ways within a single network:
sub-domains — a domain-based network in which on-demand sites use subdomains
sub-folders — a path-based network in which on-demand sites use paths
In the article WordPress Multisite Network with Domain Mapping and CDN, you can find out how to create several websites, bind custom domains, issue SSL certificates and integrate CDN in a few minutes using a single WordPress installation.
I'm helping someone that has no technical experiences with their WordPress site, and I realized he may have accidentally set it up as a multisite.
My question is if I don't want to go through all the trouble of changing the site back to a regular WordPress site, can I just treat and use the site as a regular WordPress site? Or will there be any technical difficulties later on?
(the site just displays some content and can put items in shopping cart to buy them)
And since it's a multisite and I only have admin power and not super admin, to install plugins I would have to either ask for access to the super admin account or have the person install the plugins for me, right?
Lastly, how would I access and change the wp-content/ files to customize (css/html/js) the templates myself? Do I just download Filezilla to grab the files and change them and upload them back? Or is there a better way to do this?
And would I need super admin power to do this and what additional information do I need to set up the Filezilla besides the site url, my admin account and password?
Sorry for so many questions on here, please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks!
he may have accidentally set it up as a multisite.
This sounds weird. Setting up a multisite is not something you do accidently.
I would suggest you ask access through ftp (FileZilla should do, and you do not need to be super admin). To see if it's multisite or not, you can look at the .htaccess file or wp-config.php. If you really do not need the multisite, it's best to revert back to a single install.
Now, to answer your questions,
can I just treat and use the site as a regular WordPress site?
No, you can't, especially not if you are not network admin. You need this to upgrade WP, plugins and the theme. Keeping the installation up-to-date is crucial for security.
to install plugins I would have to either ask for access to the super
admin account or have the person install the plugins for me, right?
Being able to install and update plugins from within the WordPress Admin is convenient. Technically, however, you can also do so through FTP: simply add the plugins to /wp-content/plugins/ and the themes to /wp-content/themes/. You can then activate these on the site.
how would I access and change the wp-content/ files to customize
(css/html/js) the templates myself?
FileZilla indeed. If you have access to the network you can edit these in the WP admin too, but I personally prefer to do so with an editor like Notepad++.
what additional information do I need to set up the Filezilla besides
the site url, my admin account and password?
You can't use your WordPress password for this, you need to have FTP access, and even better sFTP (encrypted). This is something the host should provide. Perhaps these tutorials may be helpful.
GL with it!
I'm trying to create a plugin for wordpress. However, the plugin panel is not showing up, so I read that its because the Network Setup menu item also is not showing up. I followed the instructions on this website:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Step_2:_Allow_Multisite
I just completed step 2, but it didn't make any difference. The Network Setup menu is still not showing up. What is the problem?
That means, you are neither an admin for single WP site nor a super-admin for a WP multisite.
Read this : https://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration
What kind of plugin do you want to create?
And what is the necessity of network setup in a plugin creation?
I guess you want to create a multisite network in wordpress!
You need to define define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); in your wp-config.php file.
I have a website, which runs an integrated wordpress blog, the wordpress was installed by my hosting company and it was a one click install. I then went into my FTP and took all the files from the original style and edited it to look like my website and still function. this is all well and good.
However, I would like to run another page on a separate wordpress blog (so there is basically two seperate archiving systems in place as one of the pages is a blog, and the other is articles which are produced monthly).
is there anyway to do this with the one click install, for example through the WP admin Control panel?
Thanks for your help in advance.
You can use Wordpress MU (Multisite) to accomplish this or just install another Wordpress instance.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
Are the two instances you want running on the same domain? Different domains?
In regards to the one click install from your web host, I'm not sure which web host it is or if there are any options for this on there.
Please clarify if you have any further issues. :)
Yes you can use two blogs by the two methods
Install wordpress on SubDomain like site.domain.com
Install wordpress on SubDirectories like domain.com/site
And then you can use both of your site in one another according to your needs and requirements ...
