The problem

Multisite realities

WordPress Multisite lets one installation run many sites. Organizations use it for franchises, regional academies, departments or white-label training for clients. Tutor LMS can run on each site of a network, but its support for multisite is basic: each site has its own Tutor LMS settings, courses, enrollments and orders, and there is no built-in shared catalogue or network-wide reporting.

We plan multisite projects with that in mind. Sometimes multisite is the right answer; sometimes a single site with categories, groups or private courses is simpler and better. When multisite fits, we build the network-level pieces Tutor LMS does not provide.

  • Data is per site

    Courses, enrollments, quiz results and orders are stored for each site separately.

  • No network reports

    Seeing all learners across the network needs custom work.

  • Plugin compatibility

    Not every plugin behaves well when network-activated.

  • Licensing

    Premium plugin licences may count each site separately.

What we do

What we build

We design the network, decide what is shared and what is separate, configure Tutor LMS per site and build shared features such as single sign-on, course distribution and network reporting where needed.

Network architecture

Subdomains or subfolders, shared or separate themes, plugin strategy.

Shared users

One account across the network, with site membership rules.

Course distribution

Master courses copied or synced to member sites.

Network reporting

Progress and completion collected across sites.

Per-site branding

Each academy with its own look on a shared theme.

Central maintenance

Updates and monitoring for the whole network.

Typical projects

Multisite projects

01

Franchise academies

02

Country sites with local languages, prices and gateways.

03

Client training portals

A training company giving each corporate client their own branded site.

04

Departments

A university with separate department academies and shared logins.

In depth

Tutor LMS on a network

What Tutor LMS does on multisite

Tutor LMS stores its settings, posts and custom tables per site, as WordPress does for most plugins. In the core code, multisite awareness is limited to a few checks, for example verifying during login that a user is a member of the current site. There are no network-level Tutor LMS settings. Plan for each site being its own LMS.

Single site alternatives

If the goal is to separate audiences rather than brands, one Tutor LMS site with private courses, categories, groups or membership levels is often simpler to run and report on. We compare both before you commit.

Building network features

Network reporting reads Tutor LMS data from each site and aggregates it. Course distribution exports courses from a master site and imports them into member sites (Tutor LMS Pro's import and export tools help here). Single sign-on and shared user rules are handled at the network level. See our multisite guides.

FAQ

Questions about multisite

Does Tutor LMS support multisite?
It runs on each site of a network, with data per site. Network-wide catalogues and reports are not built in and need custom development.
Should we use multisite?
Use it when sites need separate brands, admins or settings. If you only need to separate audiences, a single site is often better.
