Hello

I have a self hosted wordpress site lets say example.com
and I want to set up another self hosted wordpress site at example.com/another

Is it just as easy easy as
1. going to /public_html and creating a sub directory "another"
2. uploading zip files of the wordpress
3. unzip it
4. you now have a a self hosted wordpress site at the sub directory?

is this correct or is there anything I need to further tweak/do...?

Thanks

  • nope, that's it. WP will recognize where it's at and adjust itself.
  • Don't forget to create another mySQL database for it!

    Hope this helps,

  • if you are using cpanel you can do it there with no problems.
  • thanks guys, cause it was just my second time to install a wordpress

    it was very hassling the first time but now i think that it can be a breeze.
  • They call it the famous 5 minute install for a reason

  • Its correct start installing wordpress using example.com/another this address ..... before that create database from cpanel....
  • You have to create another database for the sub-directory and change the codes on wp-config.php according to your new database.
  • If you need a hand. I can install it for you. Message me if you want.
