WordPress Multisite
WordPress Multisite lets one WordPress installation run a whole network of sites. Each site has its own content and settings, but they share the same WordPress files, the same plugins and themes, and the same user accounts. Universities, companies with several country sites and agencies often use it.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”One installation means one place for updates: a plugin or WordPress itself is updated once for all sites. It also means that a change affects all of them at once, and that a problem in a shared plugin can reach every site in the network.
Many settings and values exist twice: for the whole network and for each site. A plugin can be active for the entire network or only on single sites, and the network administrator decides which plugins and themes the sites may use.
What influences it
Section titled “What influences it”WordPress: Multisite is switched on in wp-config.php and set up once for the
installation; the network’s sites are added afterward. Turning a network back into single sites
takes a migration.
In Permo
Section titled “In Permo”Permo 1.0 can’t be activated on a Multisite network and shows a notice instead.
