As regards to the (2010) reply to the MultiSite WP set up query, there’s the assertion:
You can not select Sub-directory Set up within the following circumstances:
In case your present WordPress set up has been arrange for greater than a month, on account of points with present permalinks. (This downside can be mounted in a future model.)
Some years have elapsed for the reason that reply was posted, are we near the longer term model but?
Over right here, the choice by no means got here up within the first try of multisite WP set up. So, at this second the default selection given is a Sub-domain set up that comes with the caveat of the prohibitive price of a wildcard sub-domain. Not a fascinating final result, when all that’s required right here is one subdirectory overriding the primary web site SSL cert with the next code within the .htaccess
file:
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Is there a method of prepping a WP Subdirectory set up so the present WP shouldn’t be fully erased? Maybe resetting a few of the DB gadgets by an admin plugin like WP phpMyAdmin is the way in which to go, however undecided precisely the way to proceed.
Thanks.
