Ok I’m going a lil crazy on the blogging today. But have had a few people ask me over time how to have multiple wordpress blogs with different domains and themes but with the same content and only have to post it once.

You can see i have it here on this blog and again at http://www.heatherbalagh.com/blog/

So after the request again today I decided to post the knowledge…It’s very easy, have any questions post them here and make sure to subscribe to comments to get notified of my response.. Also make sure to have both the sites on the same server

Upload WP into both directories. Make sure they have the identical wp-config.php file.

In the second sites directory do the following:
In the wp-settings.php file edit the options database value from this:

$wpdb->options = $wpdb->prefix . ‘options’;

to something like

$wpdb->options = ‘YOURNEWPREFIX_options’;

Instead of ‘YOURNEWPREFIX’ put something like ‘site2′ or whatever you want with out the ‘.

Then, in PHPmyAdmin duplicate the wp_options table, and rename one of the them to be YOURNEWPREFIX_options, so if you chose ‘site2′, it would be ‘site2_options’.

Edit the information in the ‘site2_options’ table to reflect the correct information for your second site and you will be on your way.

LOL, i’ve been getting my self updated w/ the latest post at wordpress.org/support. There is a a post there that i just had to blog about asking if it’s ok if someone charges $125.00 to install something, of course it is but just a little too pricey, specially since the person was charging $125.00 to set up someone’s blog at wordpress.com which all it takes is the data entry of your email address, and your requested blog name such as heather.wordpress.com lol.

So another user said,

“the answer is: it’s legal for him to charge you $125. but like HandySolo said, it’s fiscal butt rape to charge you for setting something up on wordpress.com”

The user said it was taken from a line her dad used to say which is this

“You want money? Fine. I’ll bend over, you reach your hand up there and whatever you pull out, you can keep.”
