I asked a Q to the staff here and told them about 10,000 pages or so. They said to go with wordpress multisite. "Next" We've just installed GeoCraft at A2hosting And the tech's cant get it to work. "Wordpress Multisite main site is mysite.com" Under C-panel, Subdomains, placed newyork.mysite.com ok great. And we went into wp-cofig under file manager and change Subdomains to true from false. My site is all about cities so we tried Subdomain like newyouk.mysite.com and is says cant find sever, so we tried the default theme, it worked. And under admin page Network, Theme, geocraft is there and works good on Mysite.com but as I understand it now geocraft is the default right, but it does not show up when "adding new site" like newyork.mysite.com. And I am going to place every city on earth with pop over 25,000 wow anybody have any short cuts? that will help? Thanks P.s user: ****** password: **** for now!ooops thats citified.com
Hello, I have checked your dashboard. Your subdomain install is creating this problem. So go to the config.php file and set subdomain install false (like: define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false) Check image for reference. After this create sites. All will work fine.
But If I do that will I get citified.com/newyork which I do not want. What i want is newyork.citified.com as I understand will index in Google! The outher way won't? Is that right
Hi, I've tried to implement subdomains for cities with categorical niches and I've tried to implement subdomains for niches and categorical cities. I've also tried to create regional subdomains with multiple cites and categorical niches, etc. etc. and could not get the search to work properly with any of these. However this was before the latest update to the search function in the theme. Does the search work with subdomains now? Thanks, Russ
Hello, When you install WordPress Multiuser with multiple subdomains. Each subdomains behave as a separate website on the network. When you do the search you will get the listings results from that particular subdomain only. WordPress Multiuser doesn't allows you to search the results from all throughout the network of different subdomains. Here is an alternative approach which can work for you. Rather than setting up different subdomains, You can create multiple categories. For e.g. if you want to create a directory for the whole country with multiple cities and different types of businesses then you can first create categories of different cities like New York, LA etc and create sub-categories for different types of businesses like Spa, Saloon under each cities. Like New York (Main Category) |-Spa (Sub Category) |-Saloon |-Hairdresser LA (Main Category) |-Spa |-Saloon |-Hairdresser |-Wedding Planners Than you can list the businesses accordingly selecting the main category and their sub-category. You can than display all this categories and subcategory in your websites sidebar so that users can navigate to any city and click through any business type. Searching in that case will work normally by entering the business name/type of business and the city where you are looking for that kind of business.
