Hi there!
I’ve been running a single WordPress Site on my Synology NAS since a while. Recently I wanted to create an additional site, also hosted on my Synology NAS.
After a bit of googling, I concluded that the most adequate solution for me would be a WordPress MultiSite aka Network. In this post I quickly summarize how I set this up.
- Back up your site (just in case)
- Deactivate the plugins
- Update the ‘wp-config.php’ file on the Synology
- Connect to your Synology NAS
- Start File Station and navigate to web-packages / wordpress
- Download ‘wp-config.php’ to you PC
(Initially I intended modifying the file directly on the NAS using the Text Editor but for some reason I was not able to save the modified file due to access rights issues even though I connected as Administrator, hence the need for a download. If you find a way to modify the file directly on the NAS, let me know how!) - Look for the following entry in the file:
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ - Add the following just above:
/* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); - Save the file and upload it to the NAS (overwriting the existing file)
- Install MultiSite
