I mean a complete reference to at least why we must use a wp-hive (the overview). I think that would be a massive case studies on it.</p> <p>Of course, i started by exploring this forums one by one before asking this.</p> <p>BTW where is a showcase who use wp-hive (not just one i mean)? </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/installation-for-dummies#post-1109 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 18:47:06 +0000 k.anderson3454 1109@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Whew..I didn't know installing is such a hard thing to do. This helped me a lot.

Donated $50 because it does such a great job.</p> <p>But, is there any way to add existing sites other than exporting the articles from the old site, rebuilding a new site through Hive and then reimporting the existing articles?</p> <p>This process seems fraught with difficulty, considering the need to fiddle with the domain names through the transition. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/installation-for-dummies#post-695 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:08:20 +0000 ikailo 695@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Great Instructions.

This is just very common behaviour with us developers, and usually i have to rewrite my own stuff about 20 times before my clients vaguely understand what i am talking about...</p> <p>So, here is what you do step by step, and hopefully it gets you going. Remeber though that every hosting/domian company can do things a bit different, so be creative on that part.</p> <p>We have a domain called "website1.com" and it points to the root folder of your hosting space, or any directory in that space. It doesn't really matter.</p> <p>Now upload Wordpress and install it as per default.. maybe you want to change the admin password or make some other changes to it, please do, but don't install WP-Hive just yet.. just make sure EVERYTHING works first.. create some posts and/or pages, get some plugins to work, a theme..</p> <p>** side-note.. instead of the default "wp_" prefix for the database, you might want to change it to "wp_1_" or something easily recognizable just in case you will have to manually change things in the database</p> <p>No problems?? GOOD!! lets get on with it then... install WP_Hive, just get the plugin and activate it.. that's all</p> <p>Is your site still working? GOOD!!.. </p> <p>Now here comes the gritty bit.. adding additional sites.. and it has a really cool function that has not been mentioned here anywhere, so it will be a good surprise.</p> <p>Some people not only have "website1.com" but also "website1.org" and "website1.net" .. and usually it will point to the exact same website</p> <p>For this to work you need to have these domains pointing to the exact same spot as the "website1.com" .. basicely, look at the settings for the "com" domain and write everything down that might look important and copy those settings also to the "net" and "org" settings.</p> <p>in WP-Hive you now have to add a new site.. choose as your domain "website1.net", let it point to the same place as your original site (usually / ) and use THE SAME (!!) database prefix. repeat this step for every com,net,org or whatever domain you may have. As it is using the same database prefix there is nothing to install.. </p> <p>Now we can also add another domain, say "website2.com"</p> <p>the steps are the same, except now you chose a different database prefix, say "wp_2_".. this creates the option to make a totally different website.</p> <p>as before, make sure your "website2.com" domain settings are also pointing to the same place as where Wordpress was installed. Again, basicaly take note of your "website1.com" settings and copy those over to your "website2.com" settings.</p> <p>open a new browser window and go to your "website2.com" domain and you should see (again) a wordpress installation page.. just go ahead like always and make changes and all that.. note, all your plugins and templates are there.. but not activated.</p> <p>hopefully this will help some people.. </p>
