| Existing WordPress sites cannot be converted to a multisite, however they can be [migrated](/migrate-wordpress-multisite). | ||
| Existing WordPress sites on Pantheon cannot be converted to a multisite due to the framework limitation. Instead, if a WordPress Multisite upstream has been created for you, a new site can be created based on that upstream and the codebase pushed to that site repository (since WordPress Multisite is a core component of WordPress and uses the same code). | ||

||
| **Note:** Any non-multisite WordPress site can be [configured](/guides/multisite/config) as a WordPress Multisite. However, it is not recommended to set up your WordPress site to be a Multisite if your upstream is not using the correct framework. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Can you rewrite this sentence to be more like "If you try to changing a WordPress instance on Pantheon to Multisite by only making changes within WordPress without also making this "platform framework" change (that updates nginx and other settings) you will get errors."
I am hypothesizing that glossary terms are added based on the <dfn> tag. I am further hypothesizing that if we leave the markdown syntax on this page intact, the new glossary terms would not be added correctly, therefore I have converted all the markdown bullets to html list items. I have added "framework" on this page because it makes the most sense to be included on a page about upstreams.
