So I am pondering over a decision to use WordPress Multi-Sites or just use Multiple WP Single sites. The reason is that the company site is broken down into multiple departments.
Maindotcom (WP SITE)
/about
/department1 (WP SUBSITE)
/department2 (WP SUBSITE)
department3.maindotcom (WP SUBSITE)
/contact
/blog
I would like…
- to Have a Super admin that has access across all wp sites.
- to use both, subdomains and subfolders, in the chosen setup (see example above).
- to know which is better for SEO?
- for all sites to share media folder
- for all sites to share the main template file
- each site to have its own database.
I have looked into using WP HyperDB which has the ability to add on remote servers and Master/slave setups.
And I have seen solutions to share same user across multiple installs using HyperDB: How to use hyperdb to separate and share a user dataset between wordpress installs?
Please let me know any solution
