Session description
Do you want to do development on multiple sites with different setups concurrently, but do not have to update core in each install every time a new version is released? Are you developing for a single site environment, but don not want to spin up a new development server for every site so you do not have to worry about multisite quirks?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, a multi-tenant WordPress install is just what you need!
Come learn how I adapted Cliff Seal's talk from WPCampus 2016 into a simple VVV site that allows you to develop for as many sites as you want while still maintaining the flexibility of having a separate directory structure and separate databases (not just tables) and still only have to update plugins/themes/core once for all of your sites.
Presenter
Aaron Graham
Aaron is one of the luckiest WordPressers in St. Louis since his day job is doing theme and plugin development for Washington University’s WordPress sites.
Outside of work he enjoys helping wrangle the St. Louis WordPress meetup and listening to as many podcasts and audiobooks as he can during his hour long commute. When he eventually gets away from technology he enjoys spending time with his awesome wife while they play with their pets (a Yorkie, two black cats, and two chickens...OK the chickens aren't much for playing), hike, fish, and camp.
In an alternate universe, he ended up becoming an auto mechanic since his 4th love (behind his wife and the animals) is his 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle which he spends more time tinkering with than actually driving.
