 Good afternoon everyone. I hope everyone is feeling nice, nice. Lunch, I hope there won't be any closing. I don't think I'll bother you after that. My name is Kasiri Ata. I'm a WordPress developer. I do search engine optimization. I do graphics designing. I do, by the number of things, that I never studied at Canvas though. I'm here to take you through multi-science. Now, I also own this startup. I don't call it a startup. I call myself a professional freelance. I don't own this startup, but this is Kasiri Ata here. Welcome to the second world camp. I'm really, really happy to see you. I'm taking you through leveraging multi-science with WordPress. If I need, it's real Ata. I start with how, why, where to use WordPress multi-science. Now, before answering everything of the house, why and where, I think multi-science is something new. It needs to be something new to some people because most people just know only WordPress. Multi-site, what else? So multi-site, as it is multi, is multi-poor WordPress. It means many. Now, with multi-site WordPress, this means that you can create one installation of WordPress, a CMS that's used to create websites, to have quite a number of websites. You remember, I used to put on those shirts that had two in one. You could put it on from the front and then from the back. You can also change. So this is some kind of work, if you understand that. A multi-work WordPress website is one website that has quite a number of websites in them. Obviously, multiple websites are hosted in one WordPress installation. That's what I was explaining. So what's the catch? All of these sites are under a single installation of WP. By WP, I mean WordPress. So we have the regular installations under multi-sites. The regular installations are those installations that you're doing. You make a WordPress installation, it could either be on the local host locally or on the server, and then you run that as a single installation. But with multiple, you can still create domains or subdomains. Actually, there are subdomains in one installation. For example, you can have a website. I can give an example of a university that's running one website, but it has so many faculties. Now, they don't want to mix up everything on just one website because it could be too much. All they want is each faculty to have each own website. Imagine yourself, if you're a webmaster at a certain university, and the university has like 30 faculties, and they want each to have its own website. How much time will it take you to go through all the web work and then updating all those 30 websites at once? It's quite hectic, but that can be solved under multi-sites. One installation, many websites in there. I'll show you how it works. So WordPress multi-site. Multi-site is a network of sites. Single installation for number of websites, single installation of plugins, themes for all, multiple set of users, superlations. How it works. So this is how the multi-site works. You see, it's like a bacteria. And then biomedicine. That has 10 tapos, although bacteria don't have 10 tapos. It's... So we have the one WordPress installation, and then in that installation, you have one client, and then here is another client, and then here you have the tech blog, the personal blog, profile, portfolio, my sports blog, and still another client. So as you can see, you can have quite a number of websites. So I make this one installation, and then I make a sub-installation inside it which has business.carserialart.com. I don't have a sub-domain, but that sub-domain is created by WordPress, and WordPress logs on to business.carserialart.com, sees a totally different website. And if I have a business journal or a blog or anything, it can really, really work out for you. One single installation, and then quite a number of sites. So, I ask myself, when can we do multi-sites? Well, under these circumstances, you are eligible to have a multi-site website. You have a number of websites running on WordPress. You are looking for an easy way to maintain your network of blogs. One to allow people to run their websites or blog on your installation. For example, I can give you just one. Someone creates a website using WordPress.com, and then after creating your WordPress.com, because it's non-paid for, it becomes, maybe I've created my website, and it's carserialart.wordpress.com, and it's on a free version. So, under that free version, I can get a domain as carserialart.wordpress.com. That's a multi-site that WordPress is running. So, you can save time from history in so many plugins, things over and over again. For example, there are so many plugins that you could use for the same job. But under a multi-site, you can use one plugin to accommodate all these installations. Although, this also has the pros and cons. About the cons, not every plugin works with multi-site. That's the challenge right now. But some of them, there are others that do multi-site, but it's not all of them. So, where can you apply your multi-site? Personal, I've been saying this, or multiple blogs or websites. Academic, different sites for focusing on different faculties. Courses for academia. Organization, team or division, best information, a company. You're a web developer. It's a telecommunication company. And it needs a website. But they need you to develop a website for their sister companies in different countries. You can't develop one because in these regional things, they specify content according to the people in the specific content to these other countries that are near there. You can get that money, create one installation, and create a multi-site website. So, each website, for example, I can say if I own a telecommunications company, and it's called... Cassiri. Cassiri loves telecommunications. Who does think of Cassiri? Cassiri and Sansh technology. My brother won't be about that Sansh thing. Yes, he gets to take all of you. So, yes, I have... Now you're here. So, I operate in Randa, I operate in UK, I operate in Tanzania. I have this multi-site website. I create specific content according to that country. And each content can be given an administrator to manage the website on a sub-level. And we have one network admin who can oversee everything. So, it's a bit easier for you to operate in groups. Hosting sites, host different sites of clients under one roof, easier to maintain. Now, this can work in a certain way also. You may have clients, okay, maybe some people who need to just start around logging, but you have your free domain, and you want people to use it to create content, just content. You can create multi-sites, and you can let them open up WordPress websites under your domain. Just like you've been doing with the transactions here, and each one of you can have their own blogs, I can say, but everything there is under multi-site. So, just because you can do, doesn't mean you have to. Just because you've had, and now you're a gig at multi-site websites, doesn't mean that you go and create multi-sites everywhere. Okay, why you shouldn't do multi-sites? Different post-tap of the same niche. By this, there are some other custom posts that may not be really working in multi-sites, and there's quite a number of people, okay, not quite a number of people, but some people who are really good with custom posts, like my friend here, so you can't go fixing these custom posts under these multi-site websites, because some of them may break the site, the network, and once the network is gone, after everything is gone, all the sites that are under it are there. Users need to install things in plugins. Now, in a scenario where users want to install their things in plugins, you shouldn't apply multi-site, because it doesn't work. You just have to, it's only the client, or it's only the administrator who can upload and provide these things. See my website, in case you're owning just a single website, why waste time in multi-sites? It's a lot of bad work for now. So, who's using this? Well, some websites, that one WordPress multi-sites, how's best buy that, check them out, bestbuy.com, how's WordPress.com, I told you about that. Power sites don't make. New York Times slash blogs, quite many. Did you know? So, this is like about, I'm sharing. New York Times has 60-plus blogs, covering a wide range of topics. Now, this goes for the blogger. Now, this, I got these stats like two weeks back, I can't verify now. But, this is 57 meetings. 57. While creating this presentation, I also put that. So, these are blogs. This has been the theoretic part of multi-sites. You see, this topic is just, just two minutes. But, we can just go through the practical and see how it works. Are we up for the challenge? Yep. Something like, themes and plugins. In order to run WordPress, WordPress installation, you just need to be having a local server. I use XAMP, because it's simple, but it's XAMP, WAMP, MAMP. So, inside this XAMP, there is a folder under HTMLX, which is going to be my website. I called it Wacom. Inside the folder that has Wacom, there is a line of code that you need to apply for the multi-sites to work. So, you guys don't get scared. Just, just, just, just. Okay, you see this one, multi-sites, defined. Now, this one is not there. It's in the WP config folder. So, you have to enable it. But, enabling it to just just, just. Okay. Um, in order to progress. And say it, true. Say it to true. Now, I come and make my installation and run the local host, slash Wacom. This only works if you set your code on this, right? Which are really done. Okay. So, the site is up and running. But because I, you've got the tools. Now, you can see this feature doesn't, isn't always there. You reach this page, create a network of WordPress sites. Please complete the configuration steps to create a new network. You will need to empty or remove the network databases. Enable in the network. Complete the following steps for creating network of sites. So, they are giving us this code. Add the following code in the WP config of Wacom. Above the line, that's all. So, we need to copy this code. Paste it. Paste in Wacom here. Just looking. Create subdomain. Subdomain install Wacom. All that. Here, add the following to your htaccess file. Replacing the WordPress rules. So, we need to copy this and go to our htdocs folder and look for the htaccess. Which is this one. I open it. My best editor. And I replace this code. And save. So, after that we are done. So, we need to login again. Hope I will win the password. Here down it was showing Lugan or something. So, that's proof that WordPress is also using multi-site websites. So, here you are running in network of sites. You can check them out. My main website is Wacom. I can say, Internet Wacom and AdSite. Now, under this, you can choose to create a, you can choose to create four slash domains. Work with corporate companies that need different websites under one website. As long as you keep the best practices of working with WordPress. That means best security and as someone who was saying that they say WordPress is going on with products. And then, there's one guy my buddy said that you know, whenever there are so many people running for a product, so many people are still out there. They want to see how it slows work out. So, in case someone just gets a bug that's running on WordPress it has control over 30% of the internet. That's why they give time to meet, which makes it cool. So, thank you, thank you so much. I'm around and you have a whatsapp group for WordPress which is the one. Thank you so much.
