Question

Multiple Wordpress sites with different domains

Posted July 1, 2013 9.1k views
I tried this guide (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-using-multisite) but I can't figure out how to set different domains. I also prefer having separate Wordpress installations. Should I just copy Wordpress into different folders (e.g. /var/www/blog1, /var/www/blog2) and then configure multiple sites on Apache? Thanks.

Download this plugin: WordPress MU Domain Mapping

However, if you want separate WordPress installs, then you should not be using WP Multisite; and simply install separate WordPress installs in different subfolders.

Yes, exaclty. I do the same with my Drupal sites here on DO, and at work on our dedicated servers with a mix of Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla and static sites.
