How to install WordPress Multisite on Subdomains (Bluehost.com)

WordPress MU is no longer a separate project; 

it is continuing development as part of the main WordPress branch under the name 'multi-site' or MS. 

This means that it will get more frequent updates and improvements.

How to install WordPress Multisite on Bluehost

You can use sub-domains and it will work.

WordPress must be installed at the root level of the domain.

You simply need to create a *.yourdomain.com subdomain

(regardless of whether the domain is an addon domain or primary domain). 

BlueHost :

Bluehost is a shared hosting company. Bluehost was among those studied in the analysis of web based hosting services in collaborative online learning programs.

BlueHost is one of the 20 largest web hosts, collectively hosting well over 1.9+ million domains with its sister companies, HostMonster & FastDomain.

WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. 

We like to say that WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

First things first. We need to setup WordPress Multi-Site:

1. BlueHost cPanel Databases -> MySQL

2. 

Create New Database

3. MySQL Users Add New User

4. Add User To Database

5. Manage User Privileges

6. 

BlueHost  

cPanel  Files -> 

   FTP Accounts

7.

 BlueHost 

cPanel Domains -> Subdomains

8. Create a Subdomain

You simply need to create a *.yourdomain.com subdomain

9. Download FileZilla

10. Download the latest release of WordPress.

      Unzip the downloaded file to a folder on your hard drive.

11. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.

   Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.

12. WordPress Multi-site Setup

Edit the wp-config.php and add the following line *before* the line which says:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

13. FTP Upload

upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress file into the root directory of your web server.

That's it!

DEMO

WordPress Multi-Site: http://www.cyple.com 

Subdomain WordPress: http://tyzen.cyple.com 

14. Installing WordPress

visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php

15. WordPress Multisite (Create a Network)

Then log into the Dashboard, go to Tools > Network, and select Sub-domains and click Install.

You will be given a page with code which needs to be copied and then added to the wp-config.php file first, and then it will also supply code which needs to be added to the .htaccess. Before you do any editing, it would be best to backup your current wp-config.php and .htaccess files, in case you accidentally break something.

a. You also want to take a quick break to go create a blogs.dir directory inside the wp-content/ directory. This will be needed for the additional sites.

b. Edit the wp-config.php

define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'cyple.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

c. .htaccess file

 Add the generated mod_rewrite rules to your .htaccess file, replacing other WordPress rules. (If there isn't one, then create it.)

RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Here is the default WordPress.org article for setting this up: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
