Question
I have multiple sites that publish data that I need to be collected to one site (n:1). But the "n" author sites are not site collections so I cannot "turn on" the cross-site publishing feature on those sites.
Is there any other way to do this?
Solution
Unfortunately No! the publishing content sites should be site collections.
Note:
- In a cross-site collection publishing scenario, you must have at least two site collections, one for
authoring content
and one forpublishing content
. - Use the
Product Catalog Site Collection template
to createauthoring site collections
because theCross-Site Collection Publishing feature
is activated by default. - To activate the
Cross-Site Collection Publishing feature
, the user must be a site collection administrator on the authoring site collection.
