Hello,
I’m not the original poster for this question but I do need to set this up for my client as well. Someone else posted this and there was no reply. just wondering if anyone can help me out.site is at brentwoodyouthsoccer.net
i had followed the codex instructions as best as i could but I clearly did something wrong. the site is working properly again. so i need to give it another try.my host is bluehost shared server
the stie is currently set up as follows
HOME is at brentwoodyouthsoccer.net = siteurl
wordpress core files are at brentwoodyouthsoccer.net/different directorythe site has been up since September of 2013, custom permalinks have already been set up and established.
some of the codex tells you to set up wildcard subdomains… I honestly don’t know if I even need to do that.

Being that I screwed it up so bad the first time I am hesitant to try it again.
Please provide any insight you may haveFebruary 24, 2014 at 4:10 am #92096Brad DaltonParticipantThis may help however its pretty easy to setup MS as WordPress provides the instructions once you enable it in your wp-config.php file http://wpsites.net/wordpress-tips/wordpress-multisite-creating-a-network-of-sites/
February 24, 2014 at 6:27 am #92109andym119MemberYou don't need to set up wildcard subdomains if you are using subdirectory structure.
Once you set wp-config.php multisite to true -
If your wordpress core files were in your root; brentwoodyouthsoccer.net
You will have 2 options to set up multisite - sub domains or sub directories:
subdomain is subdomain.yourwebsite.com
subdirectory is; yourwebsite.com/directoryBut because your wordpress core files are in a directory; brentwoodyouthsoccer.net/directory
You only have 1 option to set up multisite and that is the sub-directory structureSo you don't need to setup wildcard subdomain.
If your wordpress files were in your root and you decided to set up the sub-domain structure, then you will need to setup wildcard subdomain and you should check requirements of your host to allow this feature.
February 24, 2014 at 12:05 pm #92164iPatronaMemberThank you andym119,
I understand your reply, but i'm still no clear on the part pertaining to the permalinks. I have already established custom permalinks on this site for a while and am concerned how it will affect the sub-directory set up of new sites?February 24, 2014 at 12:06 pm #92165iPatronaMemberbraddalton,
I will review the link and post my findings. thank you
February 24, 2014 at 12:40 pm #92169iPatronaMemberbraddalton,
thank you, that was a great tutorial.
I still have a few questions though. the Blog.dir is that required for both types of setups, sub-domain & sub-directory?
Also how are the new site set up, once the MS is running properly?
the user or the superuser?February 24, 2014 at 3:07 pm #92192andym119MemberIf you are setting up a new multisite from the latest wordpress version, you don't need a blog.dir, blog.dir was for older wordpress versions. When you set up a multisite from the latest wp version it will automatically create an 'upload' directory that will contain all uploads and media.
check out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration under Uploaded File Path
New sites are set can be setup by Super admin: dashboard - sites - new.
Users can create sites: dashboard - my sites - create new site. (you can control this in network settings)
People that visit your site can create a site by linking them to your registration page:
your-website.com/wp-signup.phpFebruary 24, 2014 at 3:36 pm #92197andym119Membercheck out this plugin also http://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-bar-login/screenshots/
February 24, 2014 at 3:48 pm #92199iPatronaMemberthank you.
I will give this a try again and post my progress.February 25, 2014 at 2:22 pm #92343iPatronaMemberThis is the update so far.
i was indeed able to use subdomain even though my wordpress core files were located within its own directory.
all is good and the link from braddalton helped a great deal too. thank you all.now i just need to figure out how to nagivate the network dashboard and the subsite dashboards.
