What is WordPress Multisite (and how can it\u00a0help you)?<\/h2>\nWhat is WordPress Multisite? It\u2019s a powerful tool for managing multiple WordPress websites from a single dashboard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
As we mentioned earlier, WordPress Multisite is a type of installation that enables you to create and manage multiple sites. This is done from a centralized dashboard that contains all the features you\u2019re used to seeing, such as plugin management, content creation, and so on.<\/p>\n
There are many benefits to using Multisite, including:<\/p>\n
\n
Easier site management.<\/strong>\u00a0If you have more than one WordPress site, you\u2019ll save time by managing them from the same\u00a0place.<\/li>\n
Fast learning curve.<\/strong>\u00a0The Multisite dashboard is basically the same as your default WordPress back end, with a handful of new options thrown in. That means you\u00a0should feel right at home using it.<\/li>\n
Ability to restrict access to specific features.<\/strong>\u00a0Multisite enables you to restrict user access to certain features, such as installing new plugins and themes. That can make it a viable option for managing client websites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Overall, Multisite is a fantastic option if you\u2019re planning to build or already working on multiple websites that you\u2019d rather keep under a single umbrella, so to speak, so that they can stay connected with your main brand or company. Using this tool, you can manage all your WordPress sites easily, and identify them using either subdomains or subdirectories:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After setting up Multisite, you can quickly access any of your connected websites using the WordPress dashboard, which looks very familiar aside from which tabs you have access to:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Plus, as the network administrator, you have full control over any plugins and themes that your linked sites can use. Unless you\u2019ve enabled them first, they won\u2019t be available on sites that are a part of your network:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep in mind\u00a0that to create new pages and posts, you\u2019ll still have to access each of your sites individually. However, Multisite can save you some time by providing you with one-click entry to any website in your network.<\/p>\n
