Every great event starts long before the first guests arrive.

We relaunched the website of one of Munich's most iconic summer events for the Olympiapark München, the „Sommernachtstraum“ (A Midsummer Night's Dream). 🎆

The challenge: Create an independent digital brand experience while remaining fully integrated into the existing platform architecture.

The result:

✅ Headless architecture with Nuxt and Pimcore
✅ Multi-site integration on a shared platform
✅ Optimised mobile user journeys
✅ Reusable components for long-term sustainability
✅ A digital experience designed to build anticipation long before the event begins

Our new case study takes a closer look at the strategy, architecture, and UX decisions behind the project.

Self-hosting journey update, and WordPress: latest development from a super-newbie

@selfhosted

I must recap as I set my instance to delete 2-weeks-old posts.

Months ago, I talked about my very first journey with self-hosting my digital services, including my website.
As I'm not very skilled with sysadmin stuff, I use a YunoHost installation with all its pros and cons.

Having severe accessibility needs (I'm totally blind) I have limited choices for what concerns CMS software with related extensions if any. So after months of exploration and test, I've come back home. To WordPress.

Last time I updated Fediverse about my experience, I was struggling with multisite network giving an unpleasant error in the non-main site, such as "too_many_redirects"
Making it short, I discovered that YunoHost doesn't let me run a multisite properly when installed in a subdomain such as blog.domain.tld
So I had forcefully to install it in the main domain, and a subdirectory such as domain.tld/wp

Now I'm concentrating on my theme, I will clone it with the plugin "CreateBlockTheme" then activate it network-wide.
I need a multisite for multilingual, as all current multilingual plugins have poor accessibility support, and are mostly paid.

Then I may need a new taxonomy registered to organize stories, the glossary plugin, SEO plugin, ActivityPub, and I should be all set!

The last, hard, challenge I have, is the fact that now my site runs into "domain.tld/permalink-post" for Italian, and "domain.tld/english" for English
The new one should run "domain.tld/wp/post" and "domain.tld/wp/english/post"

YunoHost doesn't let me build a WordPress site in the root directory with multisite installed, so I must find the way to tell nginx I want the product to be physically on /wp/ but browser can point to domain.tld/post or domain.tld/english/post...

And if possible, this change to be in a file on its own, in order to be able to delete it without damaging the whole nginx conf.

Last detail, I'm on hostinger, kvm2 package. vps.

Bon, je ne sais pas qui ça peut interesser. Mais je développe un outil Rust (perso pour le moment) pour gérer ~20 sites WordPress en CLI :
plugins, mises à jour, agent autonome.
Moins de clics. Plus de contrôle.

Das ActivityPub-Plugin für WordPress erfordert, dass bestimmte URLs funktionieren. Das trifft insbesondere auf Multisite-Instanzen mit Unterverzeichnissen zu. Erfahre, wie du deinen nginx konfigurieren musst, damit es funktioniert.

Running the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress requires particular URLs to be working as expected. This is even more true for a multisite instance in a sub-directory. Learn how to configure your nginx to get it working.

Why does #WordPress #multisite send a plain text email to new users with their password instead of a password reset link so they can create their own password? 🤔

**WordPress, but serving multiple sites/subdomains?**

Read it on my blog, it has a nicer image/text layout.

Besides my technical blog (blog.rozman.info), I wanted to transfer my other writings from Blogger to my WordPress blog. But those writings are stories in slovenian language. I didn’t want to mix it in the same blog. I wanted to have my stories on a separate subdomain (zgodbe.rozman.info).

So I played with it for 2 hours, googled, failed, repeated and now it works. Here’s the summary of steps:

1. DNS

1. I updated my DNS records. I added A record zgodbe.rozman.info to point to the IP of my router.

2. Reverse proxy

I updated my reverse proxy (nginx) settings:

1. In /sites-available directory: I copied (reused) the existing blog vhosts file to new one (zgodbe.rozman….)
2. I edited it and changed all blog.rozman.info to zgodbe.rozman.info

3. In /sites-enabled I created new symlink to the file above

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/zgodbe.rozman.info.vhost /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/zgodbe.rozman.info.vhost

4. Asked for a new Letsencrypt certificate:

certbot --nginx -d zgodbe.rozman.info 

3. Activate multisite setup in WP

1. disable all plugins
2. wp-config.php:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); //first thing to add, then 'multi-site menu appear in WP'

Then, WP Multisite menu appears in WP. When activating install of multi-site, it creates some lines that I added to wp-config.php and .htaccess

4. Editing wp-config.php and .htaccess

I copied the configuration code WP showed in previous step to:

wp-config.php

define( 'MULTISITE', true );define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'blog.rozman.info' );define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

… and .htaccess:

RewriteEngine OnRewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]RewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]# add a trailing slash to /wp-adminRewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -dRewriteRule ^ - [L]RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]

Welp, the old blog site is broken!

After these changes, my blog didn’t work anymore. Layout was off, css obviously didn’t load, images were missing and I couldn’t login because of broken redirects.

So I did some dark magic to the database (I didn’t make this up, I found hints in wp-config.php file that pointed to https://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/wordpress/multisite

So I did:

mysql --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf <<EOFUSE wordpress;UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='https://blog.rozman.info' WHERE option_name='home';UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='https://blog.rozman.info' WHERE option_name='siteurl';EOF

This fixed paths to my media (images) and the site wasn’t broken anymore.

Creating new site

Finally, I can create new site (Network admin/sites/add new site). It allowed me to add site as zgodbe.blog.rozman.info. I thought this is a fixed sub-sub domain and I didn’t want to create it at first. Then I created it and edited the name of the new subdomain to zgodbe.rozman.info

Can’t login to new site!

Yeah, the new site worked, but when I wanted to log-in, I couldn’t (error: please allow cookies something…)

wp-config.php

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

Great, login to the new WP site works!

I can’t upload bigger images!

I also noticed I can not upload bigger images to my blog posts so I increased upload sizes (in wp-config.php):

//filesizesdefine('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');define('UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE', '100M');define('POST_MAX_SIZE', '100M');

I also increased post size in my reverse proxy (nginx.conf):

http {...client_max_body_size 200M;...

End result

Now my WP can handle multiple sites. Users are shared among them, but plugins are not. I have to reinstall plugins to the new site. I found out I don’t need to reinstall plugin, just click ‘network activate’ for every installed plugin.

I’m quite satisfied it works because I avoided reconfiguration of WP for several months.

TIL: get_template_directory_uri() ignores switch_to_blog() in a multisite completely, since it relies on WP_CONTENT_URL, which is defined before the blog is switched, and thus cannot be redefined with the proper value for the switched site.

I just developed a new plugin to automatically switch the language of a WordPress website to the preferred language of a user when Multisite Language Switcher is enabled – called Multisite Auto Language Switcher. 🎉

It’s waiting for approval in the plugin repository. If you can’t wait, head up to GitHub: https://github.com/epiphyt/multisite-auto-language-switcher
