This plugin allows provisioning of blogs on a WordPress multi-site installation from external packages and billing systems such as WHMCS.

There are two parts to the software.

The WordPress plugin (download it from WordPress): simply install this as normal on your WordPress multi-site install and activate it. There are no settings here.

The WHMCS plugin (download from your control panel): install as per instructions. To set it up, perform the following steps:

1) Go to Addons, activate the Addon and enter your license code (received via email when you ordered on our site), activate the Addon.

2) Create a new server and provide the following information:
- Name: any name you like
- Hostname: host name of your WordPress site
- Type: WordPressmu
- Username: admin name of your WordPress site
- Password: password of your WordPress admin

3) Create a server group and add your newly created server in this group.

4) Create a product like normal but make sure that you select under tab Module Settings:
- Module name: WordPressmu
- Server group: the previously created server group
- Default role: fill in the default role the user will get or leave blank to default to subscriber
- Default blog name: fill in the name of the default blog name that will be used on creation
- Blog directory active: tick this box if you are allowing the customer to enter their blog directory, see (5)
- Blog title active: tick this box if you are allowing the customer to enter their blog title, see (5)

5) If you want the customer to have the possibility to choose their own blog directory and title, you will need to define custom fields.
