Multi Domain and Sub Domain Install

I want to install multi-domain on this site but it is a standard WP install.

Is there a way convert this site to a sub-domain install? I know if I activate multi-site it will not allow for a sub-domain conversion because it was originally a regular install.

Any ideas?

    Greetings idomagic,

    Thank you for the great question but you are absolutely incorrect –> I know if I activate multi-site it will not allow for a sub-domain conversion because it was originally a regular install.

    Not relevant – every site starts out as a regular install or WordPress site, there is no such thing as a MultiSite install from birth of any type because they all start as single installations.

    So go for it and create your MultiSite in the fashion you desire.

    Cheers, Joe

    Well, it didn’t let me when I was learning yesterday, it only allowed me to install it as a sub-directory and clearly stated so, giving me only one choice. I am going to go through the process again today and see if it will let me. I assume I made a mistake seeing as you have the experience on me :wink:

    Greetings idomagic,

    Thank you for letting me know and I am following up to see that you have been able to make this into a sub domain installation?

    And no problem about learning as well, though experienced I still have issues and make mistakes.

    One of those may be in this ticket if this is indeed an aged site (which I realized form your last post) you are wanting to convert versus a new installation and if so then my sincere apology.

    Please advise.

    Looking forward to hearing from you in any event.

    Cheers, Joe
