This sounds so noob. But I'm really new to wordpress. :)
If I create a multisite then create a new site under it, does wordpress automatically create the files? or will I be the one to install wordpress into its subdirectory?
You need to install one copy of WordPress normally first, but it only needs that single copy of all the core files – /wp-admin/, /wp-includes/, /wp-content/ etc. - to run all of the sites.
To add a new site, you just use the Network Admin menu and it puts any site-specific files for each additional site (other than your first one, that is) in numbered subdirectories.
E.g. media Library files, end up in subdirectories of /wp-content/uploads/sites/.
If you haven't already setup multisite, you need this line in your wp-config.php:
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );

Opinion: I wouldn't recommend multisite for a complete beginner – things can get really confusing even for experienced users. The WordPress install process is very straightforward so if you have good hosting you shouldn't have trouble running separate, individual sites on the same server.

I want to update one of my sites ( https://mcqacademy.com/ ) into directory base multisite. Problem is - the basic way of upgrading an existing Wordpress site to multisite is to make a sub-domain base multisite.
I want to know is there any plugins or tutorial or any pro resources that will make my site to directory base multisite so that I will not need to transfer my existing data (post, taxonomies, meta etc) manually ...
Again,
Because my installation is not new, the sites in my WordPress network must use sub-domains. But I want sub-directory base network. See the screenshot -
Thanks in Advance!
Article in Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
"You are given the choice between subdomains and subdirectories. Except when one is restricted by existing settings and restricts one's options. "

"You cannot choose Sub-directory Install (for a path-based network) if your existing WordPress installation has been set up for more than a month, due to issues with existing permalinks. (This problem will be fixed in a future version. See Switching network types for more information.)

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.
So I'm new to wordpress, and I'm managing a company's wordpress site while building another website for this company. They have paid for many plugins and themes in their wordpress account and I would like to use them for the new website. So my question is that what do I do in order to add this website from my local host to their wordpress account.
Should I just download their wordpress file into my laptop and create a new folder in that file? If so, then what?
First things first: If you're are building another website using platform other than wordpress, then you cannot use plugins and themes.
But if you're, just download the wordpress plugins and themes from old site. And then, place those to your respective themes and plugins folder. If you are working on existing site, then you may need the existing sql file to test in the identical environments along with the data. There are many plugins which can do that for you.
And most importantly, If you are going to build a website in wordpress, you should check out the wordpress basics first.
Goal: We have a Magento installation which contains a lot of sensitive data. We're looking to host a Wordpress installation.
Problem: Since we're installing third-party modules on Wordpress, we don't want any security issues in Wordpress to be able to compromise Magento.
I've spoken to a couple of my friends, and also had a think back to how it's been implemented in the past, but I wanted another opinion.
Since the wordpress directory will reside inside of the magento directory, would it be sufficient to chown the files inside of wordpress to a new user ("user-wp"), and then to chroot the user-wp user to the wordpress directory? Magento would then still have access to all of the Wordpress files, but not vice-versa.
Any other suggestions on how to go about implementing this would be more than appreciated! Somebody also suggested configuring a separate vhost.
Using a subdomain like blog.site.com would probably be the easiest way to set this up. All you would have to do is add a new VHost for the WordPress installation.
I don't think Chrooting would provide much security. You may also run into WordPress Plugin issues with such a configuration.
The setup is tricky. You would have to go and modify the PHP-fpm process pool and users it runs with. Then assign one pool to Magento and another to WordPress. Additionally you will also want to serve static assets & uploads from the Webserver itself.
And when you change this config you have to retest your Magento install to make sure things you didn't break anything accidentally.
Too much hassle, just use the subdomain. :)
Is it possible to have one WP instance run domain.com/articles and domain.com/tips while the rest of the site would be run by Zend Framework?
What you could do is setup a Wordpress MU site. have the install on domain.com/articles and domain.com/tips and then the rest of the site shouldn't cause any problems.
The only downside is that you basically have two sites for two sections of your site. I just did a Wordpress MU build and it got a little tricky but in the end it all worked and its pretty easy to update, just an extra click or two.
You can install Worpress in your root domain. Make the homepage of the Wordpress install the current homepage of your website with all of the links, layouts, and original site subfolders preserved. Then just have Wordpress take care of the other URLs that you defined above, making sure not to create any Wordpress directories that conflict with the current site directories.
