Can you put 2 WP Blogs on the same domain?

Chad Heffelfinger · 12-02-2008, 05:45 PM

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know if you can put multiple WordPress blogs on the same domain in seperate directories?

Example would be yourdomain.com/blog and yourdomain.com/membersblog

One would be just a normal access blog and the other would be for paid members.
I am hoping this is a yes and a very simple thing, but just checking first.

Thanks,

Chad

Don't worry Chad, no such thing as dumb questions around here

Simple Answer: Yes, you just need to setup a different database for your second (or third etc...) installation

yes you can do it and yes its very simple.
just create a new directory name for every fresh install in fantastico (assuming you are using cpanel and fantastico)

Chad Heffelfinger · 12-02-2008, 05:56 PM

Ok, cool.

Thanks to both of you. I was assuming it was doable and fairly simple, but you never know. I had never tried it and just did not want any unknown trouble.

Yep, I've done it. It's real simple when done as seregap described.

You can also do it with simplescripts.

You can do them as subdomains too if you want.

Just like wordpress.com - everything is a subdomain

And if you want to go really crazy you can do them with the / (slash) and you can do them as wordpress MU (multi-user)

Just to clarify or confuse you even more
