My pledge: this shall be an equally short post.
A few hours ago, I posted on Facebook as to whether I’d like to multisite this installation of WordPress (for those who do not know what Multisite is, better check out this and this).
Indeed, my previous website had been on Multisite and I have enjoyed all the overwhelming fruits of its functionality but this time I began to get a little cautious about doing it the second time around. What if the plugin doesn’t work since WP is now on it’s 4.4 version (plugin was for 3.0)? What if I do exploit the beauty of Multisite for merely a load of websites that I do not even need? What if I screw up the installation? All these vestiges of trepidation sprung out of me that I dabbled between setting it up or not, not to mention that of imagining a pro and con list in my head. However, the pro list made its way through so I eventually got my gear going.
I installed Multisite.
So far so good as of this writing and I don’t even feel even a tad bit of regret. In fact, I uploaded the backup of my long defunct poetry website and resurrected it along with my hopes and dreams of someone reading it which should, in the long run, give way to its impending popularity. I was a little disappointed, though, because my media files got lost—the .xml file’s specifications for uploadable attachments seemed to have been rejected by the server—so I wasn’t able to salvage some posts’ images and the e-pamphlet of my first poetry folio. Nonetheless, I should say I am satisfied with the install in general. Kudos.
(By the way, I need to sleep now because my bedtime has been extended to its utmost lately that I’d still be awake at 1 or 2 AM. Definitely not healthy).
Yes to WPMU ๐ It’s convenient.
True!! I don’t have to slave myself away doing multiple installs and I get to have lots of blogs as I choose ๐
I’m still learning..how to make a subdomain WORKED with WPMU. I saw one of my client’s using WPMU but using a subddomain and not a sub folder
Oh I see. I haven’t any experience of using WPMU on subdomains either but maybe you can work something out? That would be exciting to know as to how. ๐
