(This needs to be done for each of your blogs.) If you have checked the "Remember me" box and you are still being booted out, there may be a problem with your browser's acceptance of cookies. <strong>@OrrivieV:</strong> You need to search for a WordPress style or theme switcher. I don't know any links off the top of my head, but I know there are a couple available. A Google search should yield some good results, or you can simply search the WP plugin repository for "theme switcher" or "style switcher" and see what pops up. @Rob: Make sure that you place a checkmark in the “Remember me” box next to the login button and WP should remember you for a couple of weeks before forcing you to log in again.

So the content and site would be the same, just that they would be able to see it presented differently. Any help?

Every time I go to log in, I have to reset the passwords - wordpress doesn't seem to remember what my passwords are - is this something you have come across, and if so is there a solution that I am missing. Thanks in advance for your help. Rob Hi Teli,

Is the above tutorial enough to achieve this? Thanks Hi,

I would like to use wordpress as the cms for a group of sites, one cms, one database, four websites. I don't really need the layout so much, just the ability to use the content management system for entry. Is this possible? 2. Some stuff would be unique to each site, but most would be relevant to more than one if not all - example would be three companies in the same group sharing news. Is this possible? 3. Lastly can you recommend a book, resource etc to learn wordpress as a cms and things like theme design etc.? Thank you Daniel Hi – just stumbled across this post and you seem to be answering lots of questions so…

I can't get in to details because each version is different, but basically in order to create multiple wordpresses, you have to create a MAIN wordpress and rewrite most of the code where the passwords, login sessions, etc points to the "MAIN" user information. It can be a nightmare. I'm doing this because I am making multiple languages. I know this is kinda retarded and redundunt, but my boss insists on it because he wants PROPPER and Exact Translations.
