Managing Your Multisite in the 10Web Dashboard

WordPress Multisite is a configuration that allows multiple websites to run on a single WordPress installation. Since all sites in a multisite network share core files and databases, network administrators can efficiently manage them from a single WordPress Admin Dashboard.

At 10Web.io, multisite functionality is available with the AI Ultimate plan, AI Ecommerce Premium plan, Agency Starter plan and Agency Premium plan.

For more details on multisite types and how to create a new multisite network, refer to the dedicated article. This guide focuses on managing your multisite network from the 10Web Dashboard.
