PMF
-
Does this plugin work with WordPress multisite?
-
No, this plugin provides multi-tenancy functionality without requiring WordPress multisite. It creates tenant isolation through domain-based or path-based routing and database prefixes.
-
Do I need a custom domain for every tenant?
-
No! With our new path-based routing feature, you can completely bypass complex domain and DNS configurations. You can host tenants dynamically on subdirectories underneath your main site (e.g.,
yoursite.com/client-a). -
Can I use custom domains for tenants?
-
Yes, you can configure custom domains for each tenant through the admin interface or by editing the tenant mapping file.
-
Is this plugin compatible with other plugins?
-
The plugin is designed to be compatible with most WordPress plugins. However, plugins that directly access database tables may need to be configured to work with tenant prefixes.
-
Where can I get help?
-
- Documentation: Visit grabwp.com for complete guides and tutorials
- Support Forum: Use the WordPress.org support forum for community help
- Technical Issues: Report bugs on GitHub Issues
-
How is this different from WordPress Multisite?
-
WordPress Multisite shares one database, one set of plugins, and one set of themes across all sites. GrabWP Tenancy gives each tenant true isolation — separate table prefixes, separate upload directories, and with Pro, completely dedicated databases and per-tenant plugins/themes. No network admin complexity, no shared-database risks.
-
Can I manage 50+ client sites with this?
-
Yes. GrabWP Tenancy is built for WordPress freelancers and agencies managing multiple client sites from a single installation. The admin interface handles tenant CRUD, and Pro adds backup/restore per tenant for easy management at scale.
