Manage Blogs > Install Multiple Blogs Option 2 Here you will be able to upload a CVS file with the information needed to create multiple-blogs from only one process. Upload CSV file: here you can click the Browse button and it will open a new window where you can browse your computer files to where you have your csv file with the domains you want blogs intalled on. Please notice the format below, this is how you will enter you domains, cpanel logins, etc. to successfully install the blogs. Copy & Paste CSV file: here you can enter all the details by copy and paste. To create a CSV file with the contents of your domains, you may do it with an software editor like notepad or textpad. It is important that when you create your CSV document that you save it with a file extention (ie. filename.csv) and then you can upload via wpmanager Batch Install into the section where you have to browse your computer. Not all cpanel hosts when working with addon domains work the same. Since addon domains are added as folders into the main domain name, you will have to add some extra fields so wpmdx installs the blog in the correct folder domain. Please see the format below of how each line of the domain's data will look like in the csv file: Not all fields will have data, only if the above applies you will then need to know the following: Home directory begins with? Set to the one as required: (home, home1, home2, home3, home4 or ..... home10) Hostname/domain/addon domain/sub-domain inside folder? Set to the one as required: 0 = no or 1 = yes ### example when you NEED to use folders when installing blogs on addon domains (Notice this will install 2 blogs): "testdomain1.com","webfolder","cpanel user 1","cpanel password 1","home","1","Domain folder name","wordpress user 1","wordpress password 1","site name","description","category 1","category 2","category 3","category 4","url_title_1|link 1","url_title_2|link 2","url_title_3|link 3" "testdomain2.com","webfolder","cpanel login 2","cpanel password 2","home","1","Domain folder name","wordpress user 2","wordpress password 2","site name","description","category 1","category 2","category 3","category 4","url_title_1|link 1","url_title_2|link 2","url_title_3|link 3" ### example if you WANT to install on a primary domain (Notice this will install 2 blogs): In this case the Domain folder name is empty. "testdomain1.com","webfolder","cpanel user 1","cpanel password 1","home","0","","wordpress user 1","wordpress password 1","site name","description","category 1","category 2","category 3","category 4","url_title_1|link 1","url_title_2|link 2","url_title_3|link 3" "testdomain2.com","webfolder","cpanel login 2","cpanel password 2","home","0","","wordpress user 2","wordpress password 2","site name","description","category 1","category 2","category 3","category 4","url_title_1|link 1","url_title_2|link 2","url_title_3|link 3" Please Note: if you don't wish to add blogroll links then leave empty the following: "url_title_1|link 1","url_title_2|link 2","url_title_3|link 3" (ie.
