I want to setup another WordPress install inside of this folder. Is it hazardous to have two WordPress installs setup this way?

  1. Have you considered setting your main site to a multisite setup?

    This would allow you to use the same wordpress files from the root and serve a wordpress site under the /seperatesite/ directory without the need for duplicating files.

    If you need any specific help regarding setting this up then feel free to make a new question.
