Hi, Tony! Thank you for your relevant information! I’ve seen the recommendation WP establishes in a case where there’s no way back after structuring the NETWORK, in my case, as Subdomains.

Would there be any trouble for my site if I set this change correctly? Just in case (you never know), could I reset the original settings in case there’s a problem? I just made an overall backup of my site.

Thank you very much.

I have a site that is a blog but its quite crowded site map with 900 articles over the years, I want to add a forum, events directory and possibly a shop, because of loading time and bloat I was thinking it would be best to do this using sub domains however I think that I will get no SEO benefits from the main blog site, is this the best way or is there a better way to do it that will also retain the ranking benefits of the main blog. Thanks

Thank you for the video Tony. Are there benefits to using sub-domains or sub-directories?

[canislupus]

I am having a problem with my website. I have created a subdomain, and then installed wordpress and totally new theme. But, my new wordpress and theme and configurations are not applied on that. Which is terrible for me. can you guide me to the solution? I am not a coder and just doing it by myself for portfolio.

Hey Tony, loved your video, well explained with rabit trails! Will a multisite of 10 subdomains/10 subdirectory get slower and eventually lose my subscribers or it will actually run faster since the plugins are not heavy on each instance of the 10 subdomain/subdirectory ? I am getting ready to transition from many websites to a multisite but I dont want to sacrifice my subscribers. Thanks
