Switch to Multisite on Local?

Hi @ViscoDesign,

If you’re running the Preferred environment, see my post here: Multisite Migration Live to Local

Otherwise, if you’re running the Custom environment with nginx, you can do the following:

  1. Create a fresh site Custom site with the type of multisite you wish to use
  2. Go into the fresh site’s /conf/nginx/do-not-modify folder and copy the wordpress-ms-sub[dir or domain].conf file somewhere safe.
  3. Go back to the existing site you wish to convert to multisite and remove /conf/nginx/do-not-modify/wordpress.conf and copy in the config file for multisite
  4. Restart the site

We have plans to improve this process. Sorry for the extra work!
