    Very good Video, I followed it and managed to have my site to multi site. Important to have a Note that after following the above procedure the wordpress site or dashboard may not appear . It may show page now found, This was in my case as DNS propogation took some hours. I had to further create a subdomain in cpanel first then create a new site in wordpress . Then wait for DNS to propagate.

Could you please make another video about how to change this multisite to once again a normal single site? I would like to have this possibility, when I don't get along with the plugins. Thank you. P. D. Done. I just uploaded the two original wp-config and .htaccess files.

    So, I attempted this, but the subdomain isn't found. Does not the 'subdomain' need to be created in DNS as well? Just creating a subdomain that points to a URL doesn't mean it exists on the network. The DNS would need to be updated to reflect that I would think.
