Is it possible to run wordpress plugin twice

gelson62 · February 01, 2018, 09:25:45 PM

I have one webserver with wordpress (our homepage). I have two studios on different locations. Is it possible to install the wordpress plugin for two webradios? If yes, how to do that?

Is there anybody who can help?

You can't run more instances of the same wordpress plugin.

How to change the plugin, so that wordpress recognize it as a new plugin?

It's not as easy as renaming a file or two. Having the same variable names in more than one plugin can cause conflicts, so it would require a huge amount of tedious work.
However for faster help, you can try to ask for help on Wordpress forums.

I have asked the wordpress forum and the answer was as follow:

QuoteReally, that's something the plugin's developer needs to address.

And the developer of the Wordpress plugin is no longer active on these forums

You need to do 2 separate Wordpress installs on the same server and have one of the WP on each of those that's the easier way to do what you want.

Where the developer has gone? Do you know if he has a homepage? Does he still develope new versions of the plugin?

ok so you can create 2 wordpress sites on the same server, but thats the only way to have plugin twice why do you need 2 instances of wordpress plugin? will help people better understand

We have two studios. In both studios there are different playlists. Perfect will be, when we can show the playlist from Studio1 and from studio2. Also the current playing song and the History of played songs.
