Issue

  • We can configure the site scope on Web Content Display Portlet to share web content between the global site and other sites. However, we would like to share content between sites other than global site, but this is not possible through the scope configuration of the web content display portlet.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1
  • Liferay DXP 7.2
  • Liferay DXP 7.3

Resolution

From the Scope option, it is not possible, to do so except if you select the Global Site.

 In order to share web content between Sites, other than Global Site, we can do it by performing the following:

  • On the Site go to Web Content Display Portlet Configuration --> Setup and click on Select "web content" or Change "if there is a web content displayed already" --> Click on Find and Order filter and from there they can choose another Site and select the web content from that Site. 
  • As a Site Administrator that has access to the sites, you can also share content between these sites. See attached video illustration tested on DXP 7.2
