Hi

Thanks for your help it is working now.

An important point, the status of the store should be ON otherwise the original / Main site will load. i thought that setting the status to OFF is similar to maintenance mode the site will not load

Thanks for your help

subdomains are easy to set up within you cPanel  so your url would look like this:

Site2: clothes.domain.com/store
Site3: shoes.domain.com/store
Site4: gifts.domain.com/store

However,  if these are the items you are wanting to organize -  perhaps using the categories for clothes, shoes, and gifts would work .

The option to create subdomains creates an additional Cpanel step and also isn't convenient to manage globally as subdomains are often considered separate entity altogether by Google Webmasters and others.

A simple domain.com/store/mcdonalds, domain.com/store/starbucks would have been a simple approach and also implemented by popular multi-vendor stores.
