Steps to Add Sites to WordPress Multisite

Adding sites to a WordPress Multisite network is straightforward. 

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Log in to Network Admin

Access Network Admin: Log in to your WordPress dashboard. Hover over "My Sites" in the top left corner and select "Network Admin" > "Dashboard."

Step 2: Add a New Site

Navigate to Sites: In the Network Admin dashboard, click on "Sites" in the left sidebar.

Add New Site: Click the "Add New" button at the top of the Sites page.

Step 3: Fill in Site Details

Site Address (URL): Enter the desired site address. For example, if your network domain is example.com, and you want to create a site called "test," you would enter test (resulting in test.example.com for subdomain setups or example.com/test for subdirectory setups).

Site Title: Enter a title for the new site.

Admin Email: Enter the email address of the site administrator. This can be an existing user or a new one (if you’re adding a new user, they’ll need to be created first).

Step 4: Configure Settings (Optional)

You may see options to select additional settings like the theme or language, depending on your configuration. Adjust these as necessary.

Step 5: Add Site

Create Site: Click the "Add Site" button to create the new site.

Step 6: Configure the New Site (Optional)

Site Admin: After adding the site, you can manage it directly. You can navigate to the new site by clicking on "My Sites" > "View" next to the new site, or access it via the "Sites" list in Network Admin.

Customize Settings: From the new site's dashboard, you can customize themes, plugins, and other settings as needed.

Step 7: Inform the Site Admin

If you entered a new admin email, the user will receive an email notification with details to log in.

Additional Notes

User Management: You’ll need to add users to the new site if they aren’t already part of the network.

Plugins and Themes: Make sure that the wordpress plugins and themes you want to use are enabled for the new site.

That’s it! You’ve successfully added a new site to your WordPress Multisite network. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
