I need some advice regarding web structure.
There are two domains: www.aaa.com and www.bbb.com
They both should share the same content of blogs with more directories. But when user access blogs, they don't need to redirect into other domain so people can access it with
www.aaa.com/blog or www.bbb.com/blog
With that structure, do I need to use WordPress multisite?
If the Blogs are the same, you don't need de multisite.
This feature allows multiple virtual sites to share a single WordPress installation, but if are the same site, you don't need the multisite.

I need some help with wordpress. I have got a wordpress on my main domain and I would like to use another wordpress on my subdomains with the same theme, plugins, blog pages and posts but different links in my blog posts. I want to know how I can change the links in my blog posts for the main domain and the subdomains?
Do I need to create a subdirectory folder and a different database name for each subdomain and do I also need to copy the wordpress files from the main domain to the subddirectories folder so I could be able to create the username and password for the subdomains and then login in the wordpress for each subdomain to change the links in the blog posts?
I want you to understand that I want to use the main domain and subdomains to use the same theme, same plugins, same blog posts and same pages but the links in the blog posts have to be different, because I am going to use different traffic sources on each subdomain to track for clicks and sales, example: my main domain will be use for google traffic, the blog subdomain is for facebook and the other subdomain is for easyhits4u. I can track the clicks and sales for google and other traffic sources because the links in the blog posts for the main domain and subdomains would not be the same.
If I use the same links in the blog posts for the main domain and the subdomains, I would not know how many clicks and sales I would get from each traffic source I use and I would not know where the clicks and sales are coming from. That is why I want to use it seperate so I can track it easy.
To go a little further about the comment of #Sysix :
As far as I know, Wordpress Multisite allow you to have one folder that hold all of your websites. Your websites url can be subdomains or subfolders based (but this one not need to have a real subfolder, it's only about the url)
subdomain.example.com
example.com/subdomain
At my last work, the php developper made a plugin or something that allow you to have different urls for each site of the network.
example.com
example2.com
etc.
(I'm gonna search some informations about it, if you are interested in)
Websites are handled with the database only, and if you take a look at the wordpress database after you have create a new site in the network, you will get new tables wp_posts, wp_meta etc. with a number after them that is related to the site id.
So i think that the best way for you is to make one website, create all the post, the pages, and when it's done, duplicate it in a new site in the network.
You can use the plugin in the link below to duplicate a site of your network.
https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-clone-duplicator/
Just a warning : I know that this way it could works, but I also know there some conditions to make it works great. I can't remember exactly why but I seem to recall that you can't easily duplicate the main website of the Network. There was a workaround to do it but I don't remember exactly what was the issue, and how to resolved it.
I'm gonna search and test some stuff right now, so this answer is not definitive but it could get you on the way. I will edit it if i find or remember some important thing.
Sorry for this answer that is not really an answer, but in comment it was not possible to write all this ... Also if I said nonsense, please correct me, and I will edit the post as well.
I'm looking for a WP plugin that will let me create a multilang site where each subdomain or domain will represent separate translation. E.g. example.com for english, de.example.com for german, examplejp.com for japanese.
I found polylang and bogo plugins, but not sure if they support domains and subdomains the way I need.
Does anyone have an experience in this?
Thanks!
Make a multisite with WordPress, then add subsites (de, jp, etc.), upload languages files into /wp-content/languages directory, plus set the subsites main language to the required (de, jp, etc.) on General Settings page (/wp-admin/options-general.php).
I have a custom PHP/MySQL e-commerce site at domain.com.
I have multiple Wordpress blogs that I would like to have the following URL structure:
domain.com/blog-one/
domain.com/blog-two/
domain.com/blog-three/
domain.com/blog-four/
Each of the these blogs are completely independent of the others. Each have their own theme, content, database, etc...
Is this possible?
Even if it is possible, am I asking for potential issues having these set up as sub-folders and not sub-domains?
Thanks
Brett
Why not use WPMU set to a folder structure? The ecommerce site can be the default 'blog' at the root and the other blogs would have the structure you want from above. Also you would have a mush easier time maintianing each since they would share the same base code, plugins, etc, while having separate themes and content for each one.

This should be fine. I currently have two Wordpress blogs in two different folders.
Yes yo can have multiple WordPress blogs on a single Domain.
Before install multiple WP review each answer posted by other. You can have better solution then installing multiple WP.
I have two domain on separate hosting. On the first I can setup a.mydomain1.com. On the second I can istall wordpress as www.mydomain2.com/wordpress. Now I found a plugin for reidirect to an external website.
My goal is to show wordpress site on a.mydomain1.com. How I have to configure the record in the admin panel of first domain?
Thanks a lot
I think you should use WordPress Multisite.
WordPress includes new multisite features, meaning that it can run many blogs, even with their own separate domains, on one WordPress installation.
I'm a newbie on hosting blogs. I have a shared hosting account on HostGator that uses cpanel, and I want to install multiple wordpress sites.
I have my wp sites under /home/username/public_html/, so each site has its own directory under public_html. The problem is for my primary domain, the one I got from the hosting. It was installed under the public_html itself, so my other sites were accessible from the primary site, like http://www.primarysite/other-site. Is this the typical structure of hosting multiple wp sites on shared hosts?
Is it ok to have my other sites accessible under the primary site?
A detailed explanation would be very useful, or just point me to some good tutorials/articles. Thanks again!
you need to create different folders/directories for your other wordpress sites under public_html, and yes you can access your other site like www.primarysite.com/othersite only
Hostgator cPanel includes Softaculous or Fantastico Auto Installers and both of them include Wordpress MU (wordpress multisite/multiuser) Follow the instructions and you can install multiple wordpress sites in a single click ;)
yes you can acces your other sites under your primary domain. For that you have to install wordpress under different directories.
I think you may be aware of addon domain feature. Try using the addon domain feature in your cPanel.
You have two domains mysite.com and my-other-site.com.
You want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites.
