How do I connect several websites / multisites?

Hi, this is Sandra from GREYD. Today I’d like to show you how to use our multisite connector to connect any number of websites with each other and to merge all your websites in one central system. The multisite connector is an extremely powerful feature. You can use it to massively save administration resources as you can manage all your web projects in one central dashboard, no matter if they lie on different WordPress installations. And you can also connect content across several websites and create even the most complex headless structures.

You will find the multisite connector in your GREYD.Hub in the tab connections. Here you can see an overview of all existing connections. To create a new one just enter the URL of the respective installation down here. You can both connect single sites and multisites. For the latter, just enter the URL of the home website. Please note that you need to have admin or super admin rights on both installations and a valid SSL certificate on both websites. GREYD.SUITE should be installed and up to date on both installations. For security reasons you will then be transferred to the other installation to accept the connection request for which you can also select an individual name.

Now we will have to do exactly the same procedure also from the other installation. So we go there and also create a new connection by entering the URL of the first installation, request the connection and approve it. Now you can see the installation connection is active and visible in your dashboard.

After successfully creating a connection, you will now also find the connected websites in your GREYD.Hub dashboard. So here you will not only be able to see the websites of this installation, but also of the one we’ve just connected. This means, you can use all features — for example migrating websites, installing templates, creating new websites, import and export, view website information, etc. — not only for this installation, but also for the one we’ve just connected. So now, you can for example migrate a website from here within seconds to a domain on the other multisite installation. Or use a website template from here for a project on the connected installation and also vice versa. Here again we can see all websites of all connected installations.

For more information on how all these GREYD.Hub features work, please have a look at our dedicated GREYD.Hub tutorial video in our Helpcenter. But now, you can not only use the connection to make managing your websites easier, but also to connect contents of it. If you activate this Global Content checkbox here, you can connect and sync any type of content — for example posts, forms, pop-ups, pages or entire post types — across installations. Like in GREYD.Hub, you will then also see all Global Contents of both installations in your Global Content dashboard and can easily import and use contents of your connected installation here. There’s also a video on Global Content in our Helpcenter.

You can also activate your connection for Global Search. If a user then searches for something on a website of installation A, you can also show him or her results from websites of installation B. Check out our search tutorial in the Helpcenter for more information. In the overview you can also delete connections. Please make sure to again do it from both installations and please don’t forget to also revoke the user permissions.

So let’s sum up: As you’ve seen, you can easily connect any GREYD.SUITE website with our multisite connector. The result: massive time saving and an extraordinary user experience. For more videos and information please visit our Helpcenter.
