2 wordpress sites

Aruffell · 17 May 2009 at 20:24

Currently using wordpress and i have created the same theme but using a different colour scheme.

My website is for computer hardware reviews and the other theme i want for a gaming side of the site.

How would i go about creating another wordpress site to work as a subsite to my current one where i could use the same install, same admin panel but post to a sub site.

Is this possible or would i need to do a whole different install?

Thanks,

Andy

how much you know about php?

off the top of my head i'm thinking something like having a gaming and then whatever else in categories, then have gaming category posts not shown on homepage so it would all come under same admin panel etc.

then with php do a check on the category.php and single.php pages say if category == game category, include gaming stylesheet.

I know a bit of PHP.

What i ideally wanted though was a seperate site for gaming so that would have it's own homepage.

Couldn't you just set up a subdomain?

You probably will need to install WP again to it though.

That's what i ended up doing and have it all set up now, same as my original site but different colours.
