Multiple Blogs, One Wordpress Install

Posted by: scoopseven 16 years, 9 months ago

From http://likemind.co.uk/journal/?p=64... In the home directory for my new blog, I created an index.php like this, pointing to my existing blog directory: <? define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); require_once('../journal/wp-blog-header.php'); In the same directory I created a .htaccess to route other requests to the existing blog: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/portfolio$ RewriteRule . /portfolio/ [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/portfolio/$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/portfolio/index.php$ RewriteRule ^(.+) /journal/$1 Then I edited wp-config.php so it specified a different table prefix for my new blog, changing the assignment of $table_prefix to this: if(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, 10) == '/portfolio') { $table_prefix = 'pf_'; } else { $table_prefix = 'wp_'; } At that point I requested the new blog and got the installation dialog. After following it my new blog was basically ready, except for its theme. I wanted to re-use most of the existing theme, so I simply edited the files to test the global $table_prefix wherever I wanted different output. For just two blogs this approach is OK. I’d tidy it up before I added any more. Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
