Install and Setup WP Multisite Network

What is WP Multisite?

A WP multisite network allows to run and manage multiple WP sites from a single installation. You can create new websites instantly and manage them using the same username and password. You can even allow other users to signup and create their own blogs on your domain.

Create WordPress Plugin

To create a plugin, all you need to do is create a folder and then create a single file. First go to the wp-content/plugins folder, and create a new folder named myPlugin. Inside this new folder, create a file named myPlugin.php. Open the file in a text editor, and paste the following information in it:

<?php
 
   /*
 
   Plugin Name: myPlugin Creator
 
   Plugin URI: http://www.nikolaynikolov.net
 
   Description: My fist plugin
 
   Version: 1.2
 
   Author: Nikolay Nikolov
 
   Author URI: http://www.nikolaynikolov.net
 
   License: GPL2
 
   */

You can go into the back end to activate your plugin. Of course, this plugin doesn’t do anything, but you can add functionality by yourself.
