Run WordPress as a multisite network, you can find instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
-
Manually apply changes via .zip file and overwriting.
- Download latest zip from wordpress.org
- Make a backup of your file base per install
- Unpack the zip files then overwrite files in
wp-admin
andwp-includes
. - Overwrite root files but make sure you do not change your
wp-config.php
settings. It’s best to compare the new wp-config for any changes that might have been made so you can apply them. - Check
wp-content
for any new changes and apply them (do not overwrite your
existing files)

Using Symbolic Links, this isn’t easy will probably break stuff.
