Multiple WordPress with a single installation

Written on March 26th, 2009 by reenadak

If you want to have multiple installation of WordPress but does not want to take pain of installing all these and setting Themes and plugins for all, the wp-hive is the answer.

WP Hive is a WordPress Plugin that allows multiple Wordpress Blogs to use the same core files, plugins, and themes.

This plugin is currently intended to be used in a multi-blog, single administrator environment. It is built with ease of use and resource sharing at the forefront. WP Hive is for the blogger who manages many blogs and is looking for a simple way to synchronize the plugins, themes, and files for all their blogs at once. If you are looking to run a blog network where you (or a group of trusted individuals) administer and control all the blogs’ content, then WP Hive is perfect for you.

WP Hive currently allows users to create new blogs on separate domains (www.domain.com), and on subdomains(subdomain.domain.com).

I have used it successfully and observe this to be amazing. Highly recommended if you need above mentioned functionality. Using this plugin you will need only one MySql database for all the installations.
