WordPress Multisite

If you have multiple WordPress sites that need to share a common theme, WordPress Multisite may be the solution.

ONE WORDPRESS TO RULE THEM ALL

A multisite WordPress network is one install containing many sites.

Depending on your hosting plan restrictions these multisite networks can house an almost unlimited number of individual sites sharing a common set of plugins and a common set of themes.

New sites can be created at the touch of a button and each site can have separate user communities, with separate permissions.  Each site can select a theme and choose its plugins.  Network activated plugins are available on all sites.

PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT FROM WORDPRESS MULTISITE

Related sites can share a theme and plugins to have a similar look and properties. For example departments at a university, courses in a department, or micro-sites for products or services. Updates to the plugins and themes are immediately applied to all sites in the network.

Unrelated sites can be housed together for administrative convenience. Adding new sites to an existing multisite network can be done very quickly, so spinning up a micro-site does not require any additional accounts or file management tasks. A company might choose to house its marketing site, a member site, and later its investor site in one WordPress installation.
