Multisite Overview

do subsites and mainsite share all the places/events listings? or are they completely separate database installations? and all users and transactions separate?

if they share data, is there a way to set default searches to a region? ie – if i have 50 states, and a user searches for dentist… I want them to get results from the site they are on

okay, fair enough

I suppose it might be asking too much to share selected listings from the mainsite to the subsites… things like generic places etc or… premium listings that post across multiple niche sites

Hi, thanks for following up

I started trying to test the ThreeWP Broadcast plugin to see what would happen between the mainsite and a subsite.

I was using dummy data with different default locations and I didn’t have all the GD addons enabled and while the mainsite copied the customer post type for places to the subsite I couldn’t find it on the live site but almost certain that was due to incomplete setup.

I haven’t had time/energy to complete setting things up and trying it again, but it was promising – lots of variables with ‘use case’ – but to be able to post ‘places’ in a central mainsite that updates niche subsites would be manna from heaven.

I’m not prepared to fund development for this, so don’t bother to post in jobs (unless there is a volunteer dev section). But still hoping off-the-shelf plugin with some appropriate settings would do it.
