[wp-edu] How do you manage a site with 100+ sub sites with WordPress?

[Joseph Ugoretz]

These are class sites and student eportfolios, so we do not ever retire or purge sites.

Students do return to old sites and take them up again even if they have been inactive for a long time, even years.

Part of our policy and what we guarantee to students is that these sites will remain available until and unless the students themselves delete them (except in the case of serious violations of our community guidelines...has not happened yet).

What sort of site retirement policy do you maintain? How do admin know when to purge a site from a set of 4,000?

WordPress multisite works very well for this. We currently have, on our big multisite install, over 4,000 sites, with many different themes. We aren't currently using domain mapping but may soon.

My CUNY colleagues at Baruch College have a similar set up with far more sites.

Hi Ryan,

On the UBC CMS we have just over 900 domain mapped sites.
We run one Network within multi site and have one central theme and allow users to map their domains using the Domain Mapping Plugin.

It's worked well for users so far.

We are looking at going with WordPress with at our college, currently have about 100+ sub sites under one master, each with unique navigation and content.

How do you manage this in WordPress?
