WordPress Network Install Tutorial

I always forget how to setup a WordPress Network install (this is also called a WordPress multisite install). Here’s my quickstart configuration check list.

1. Install a vanilla copy of WordPress from WordPress.org.†
2. Open ‘wp-config.php’ and under the line that says “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */” add define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
3. Login to WordPress and go to Tools > Network Setup.
4. Edit your Network Step information and click submit.
5. Follow the instructions to edit you wp-config and htaccess files.
6. You’ll be logged out once those changes have been make. Log back in.
7. $$$ PROFIT!
