Best Way To Use Vantage With Previous Wordpress Install & Theme

I am running a website that is already running the Headway theme framework. However, I would like to add a business directory to my site.

I have never done this before, but do I assume correctly that I could create a whole new installation of wordpress on my server and then somehow link my main site to this second "Vantage" one using menu items? Could that work? I want them both to be a part of the same domain — so this Vantage install would end up being [sitename.com]/directory I assume when I am done.

Or is there a better easier way?

I have read a bit about Wordpress MU, but it seems like a technically more complicated route and one that requires me to make sure every other (plugin) I buy and download works with MU installs etc. Which could possibly give me less choices later on.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Curtis

Hi curtis and welcome to the forum,


You are right about the options you have.You can install a separate WordPress install in a sub folder or use a multisite installation.Both have their advantages and disadvantages.Vantage is multisite enabled so you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks Dimitris. I just purchased Vantage today and plan on trying to change my site to a multi-site installation. I hope it goes smoothly. Since I've never done it before, I am not sure what I am in for! ;)

Good luck with your project.
