We’re currently running a multisite wordpress install for 4 sites. Running into problems with pretty much every plugin ever made (mostly issues with user account creation etc), I’d really like to switch over to 4 single installs. However, I’m wondering if the server resource usage will be significantly affected.
As far as I see it, the overhead of running the multisite management on top of these blogs outweighs any losses we would see from running them separately, especially when we’re only talking about 4 sites. Can anyone offer some more insight here?
Thanks in advance
You can use one installation for four (or more) singular sites without multi-site. Just point all domains to the same directory with your WordPress installation. In your
wp-config.php
set the necessary variables and constants depending on the currently requested host:You can change any constant or variable in the
switch
of course.To make plugin updates easier let all installations share one plugin directory.
