Content synchronization between parent and child WordPress sites
In brief
- Content synchronization between a parent site and child sites
- Centralised menus and shared content across the network
- Each venue keeps an independent, editable site
- Built for a multi-venue bar-restaurant chain
- Stack: WordPress, PHP
The HoppyMonkey Club is a chain of bars and restaurants in Toulouse. To manage several websites without duplicating work, it uses a custom WordPress content synchronization plugin.
The need
A multi-venue group needs shared information, menus, common pages, brand content, to stay aligned everywhere. Editing each site by hand is slow and leads to inconsistencies between locations.
The solution
The plugin establishes a parent-to-child relationship between the sites. Shared content is maintained once and propagated automatically, while each venue keeps control of its own local content.
Key features
- One-to-many content sync from a parent site to child sites
- Centralised management of menus and shared sections
- Local independence preserved for venue-specific content
- Consistent information across the whole network
Results
The group updates shared content in one place and every site stays in sync, cutting maintenance time and keeping the brand consistent across venues.
