Using WordPress Multisite with Coolify

Introduction

1. Add Wordpress with one-click installation Add a Wordpress service with the one-click installation feature in Coolify.

2. Persist Wordpress files on the host machine Change the following lines in your docker-compose.yml file from the UI to persist the Wordpress files on the host machine:

   volumes:
     - "wordpress-files:/var/www/html"

   to:

   volumes:
     - "./wordpress:/var/www/html"

   This will mount the wordpress directory in the default configuration directory (/data/coolify/services/<serviceUuid>/) to the /var/www/html directory in the container. This way, you can edit the files on your host machine and see the changes reflected in the container.

3. Configure Wordpress Start the Wordpress service and configure it as you wish.

4. Disable all plugins

   • Go to your Wordpress admin panel.
   • Go to Plugins -> Installed Plugins.
   • Select all plugins and choose Deactivate from the dropdown menu.

5. Enable Multisite Open your wp-config.php file on the server and add the following lines:

     define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );

   Refresh your WordPress panel in your browser. You should now see a new menu item called Network Setup under the Tools menu.
