i’m hosting several sites. they all have the same base theme that i need to install. I want to develop this theme and have them updated on all the sites simultaneously.
I have the following folder structure
/theme/
mytheme
/domain/
foo.com
foobar.com
foosite.com
Would there be any issue with symlinking each site with my theme into each site’s wp-config/theme/ folder? Not interested in multisite. Had to developed sites seperately.
That will work fine – just make sure they all have read and write access to that shared folder. The symlink command should be:
StackOverflow question: Can two different WordPress blogs on the same server use a common theme folder?
Or, do a multisite install — the themes directory is shared by all sites and each theme can be enabled on a site by site basis.
