## Setting up Multisite on WordPress (Composer Managed) sites

The [Bedrock](https://roots.io/bedrock/)-based [WordPress (Composer Managed)](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wordpress-composer-managed) upstream uses `Config::define()` and `config/application.php` instead of traditional `define()` statements in `wp-config.php`. You will not be able to use WP-CLI via Terminus to enable multisite as documented above in a standard multisite configuration. This section provides guidance on how to set up a WordPress Multisite using the WordPress (Composer Managed) upstream.

1. Set the site's connection mode to Git:

```bash{promptUser: user}
terminus connection:set <site>.dev git
```
2. Open the `config/application.php` file in your site's codebase and add the following line anywhere _above_ the `Config::apply();` line:
```php
Config::define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
```
3. Visit your development site's WordPress admin and navigate to **Tools** > **Network Setup**.

4. Choose **Sub-domains** or **Sub-directories** (depending on your needs), fill in the Network Title and Admin Email, and click **Install**.
5. You will be given instructions to update your `config/application.php` file. Below where you added the `WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE` line, copy and paste the code provided. The `SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL` value will be `true` or `false` depending on the option you chose in the previous step. For example, if you chose subdirectories, your `config/application.php` file should look like this:
```php
Config::define( 'MULTISITE', true );
Config::define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
// Use PANTHEON_HOSTNAME if in a Pantheon environment, otherwise use HTTP_HOST.
Config::define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', defined( 'PANTHEON_HOSTNAME' ) ? PANTHEON_HOSTNAME : $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] );
Config::define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
Config::define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
Config::define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
```
6. Save your changes and commit them to your Git repository. WordPress will prompt you to log back in after you push the changes.
7. Log into your site. When you log back into your WordPress admin dashboard, you will see a new **My Sites** menu item in the top left corner. This is where you can manage your network of sites. You now have a WordPress subdirectory multisite network set up on a WordPress (Composer Managed)-based upstream.

<Alert type="danger" title="Multisite Search and Replace with WordPress (Composer Managed)">
Currently, the built-in dashboard [WordPress Multisite Search and Replace](/guides/multisite/search-replace/) does not support Composer-based WordPress multisites. To perform a search and replace on a WordPress (Composer Managed) multisite, you will need to use WP-CLI via Terminus manually. For more information, see our [WordPress Multisite Search and Replace](guides/multisite/workflows/#run-wp-cli-search-replace-manually) guide.
