WordCamp Toronto 2014: Multisite for Multilingual

By Rick:  October 3rd, 2014

WordCamp Toronto 2014 - SpeakerI’m really pleased to be a speaker at WordCamp Toronto 2014. If you use WordPress and have not been to a WordCamp, you should plan to attend one. WordCamps are great events at which to learn a lot about WordPress and meet people interested in and knowledgeable in WordPress.  We’ll be having one in Ottawa in the spring.

My talk this year will be about using WordPress multisite to create multilingual sites:

Multisite for Multilingual

This talk is about creating a multilingual WordPress site using WordPress multisite. The talk will cover: the basics of setting up multisite, some plugins to make it easier to create a multilingual site, pros & cons of using multisite for multilingual sites, and some tips and tricks to help with your sites.

Hope to see you there!

For a complete description of multisite and setting up multisite see the great reference created by Mika Epstein & Andrea Rennick:

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’,true);

Save!

New Network Setup menu item2) Click on the “Tools” menu item in the dashboard.

You should now see a new item “Network Setup”.

Click on “Network Setup”, and complete the Create a Network of WordPress Sites page.  If you are not sure about the options, see the ebook above.
