If you are planning to enable multisite in your live WordPress website, make sure that you have a full backup of your website files and database. This will allow you to invert to the last working state if anything goes wrong.<\/p>\n

Activating Multisite Within FIve Easy Steps –<\/h2>\n

Step1 –<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Firstly for activating multisite is to add a new line to your wp-config.php file which is in your WordPress folder.<\/p>\n

Open the file and search for\u00a0the line that says:\u00a0\/* That\u2019s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. *\/<\/span><\/p>\n

Now add below lines just above\u00a0it:<\/p>\n

\/* Multisite *\/<\/strong>
\ndefine( \u2018WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE\u2019, true );<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wp-config.php<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And save the\u00a0wp-config.php file.<\/p>\n

Step2 –<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After step1, get back to your website dashboard. Hover over the \u2018Tools\u2019 menu which is on left side, and you will notice a new sub-menu titled \u2018Network Setup\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Network<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step3 – Configuring Your Multisite<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Go to Tools -> Network Setup. You will be taken to a page similar to the following \u2013<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Network<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On this page, you will have two options to customize \u2013<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Network Title<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Network Admin Email<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Provide the network title, network email and click \u2018Install\u2019. This will start the actual installation process. After a few seconds, you will be shown to a page like the below image \u2013<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"network\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Here you will show wp-config.php<\/strong> and .htaccess<\/strong>files code which you have to add in your\u00a0wp-config.php<\/strong> and .htaccess<\/strong>files.<\/p>\n

    Get the files. For the wp-config.php file, make sure that you are adding the code before the \u201c\/* That\u2019s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. *\/\u201d<\/span> line.<\/p>\n

    Make sure that you are adding the code correctly –<\/span><\/p>\n

    For the .htaccess file, delete the lines between the \u201c# BEGIN WordPress\u201d<\/strong> and \u201c# END WordPress\u201d<\/strong> lines. And paste the lines you are provided with for the file.<\/p>\n

    After updating the wp-config.php and .htaccess files, reload your website dashboard. You will be asked to log in again.<\/p>\n

    Once you log in, you will be taken to your regular dashboard, which will have a new top menu titled \u2018My Sites<\/strong>\u2018.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"MySite\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step4 –\u00a0<\/strong>Multisite Settings –<\/h3>\n

    If you hover over the \u2018Settings\u2019 menu of your network dashboard, you will find out two new sub-menus \u2013 Network Settings<\/strong> and Network Setup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The Network Setup sub-menu will display the codes you added to the wp-config.php and .htaccess files during activating multisite. This is just a reference page; you will not find any actual option on this page.<\/p>\n

    All the settings options are located on the Network Settings page. If you go to Settings -> Network Settings from your network dashboard, you will be taken to a page like the following \u2013<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Network<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
