How to create a Multi-Network subsite?

Leave a Comment

I've enabled Wordpress Multisite (subdomains) on www.example.com and created a subsite @ s.example.com, and then installed/enabled WP Multi-Network.

I've created a new network @ s.example.com.

How do I create a subsite in that network, e.g. s.example.com/subsite?

s.example.com/wp-admin/network redirects to www.example.com/wp-admin/network.

If I create a new site @ www.example.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php, I can't make it a subdomain or subdirectory of s.example.com.

Help appreciated.

It is just like @Ravi says, you can't create a multisite within a multisite environment. s.example.com is a multisite website, you can't split that multisite site into multiple other sites. Need to have 2 separate installs.

It kind of sounds like you want to make a multisite inside a multisite. Multisite was probably not made to work like this.

When you make a WordPress Multisite you are asked to configure it using either subdomains or subfolder structure. You will be able to switch but you won't be able to mix this up.

A possible solution would be to make a subdomain in your hosting package (s.example.com) and configure a separate multisite (with subfolder structure) for this. The drawback will be that you will have 2 seperate networks instead of 1 network.

Like this you can have: s.example.com/site-1, s.example.com/site-2, www.example.com/site-1, and www.example.com/site-2
