What is WordPress Multisite?

WordPress Multisite is a feature that allows you to create and manage multiple WordPress websites from a single WordPress installation.

Essentially, it turns your WordPress installation into a network of sites.

This is particularly useful for organizations, businesses, or individuals who need to oversee several sites with similar structures, themes, or plugins but want to manage them from one dashboard.

Features include:

  • Unified Dashboard: Manage all your sites from one place.
  • Shared Themes and Plugins: Install a theme or plugin once, and use it on any site in the network.
  • Individual Customization: Each site can still have its own unique settings, users, and content.
  • Efficiency: Saves time and effort by allowing bulk updates and consistent management for multiple sites.

In summary, WordPress Multisite is an advanced feature that caters to users needing to efficiently manage multiple websites under a single WordPress umbrella.
