Does the AWS Lightsail installation of Wordpress Multisite support use of subdirectories instead of subdomains?

Description:
Logging into WP Multisite and dealing with the administrative aspects of WP, I found the required changes for wp-config and htaccess files for Multisite. However, there is no documentation on Bitnami to address how to support SUBDIRECTORIES instead of the default SUBDOMAINS new site creation.

Is this supported by AWS?
Is this supported by Bitnami's blueprint?
I found the following article on WPMuDev outside of Bitnami. Do you support their approach?

Further investigation shows a response from Bitnami Developer DavidG that says .htaccess is not available to modify.

Is this correct?

Hi @demian_9,

You can find more information about how to configure WordPress to use subdirectories instead of subdomains in our guide at https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/wordpress-multisite/administration/use-directories/

Hope it helps,
Gonzalo

Great! I'll assume this works in Lightsail the same as it works in an EC2 instance. Tx.

Hi @demian_9,

Yes, the result should be the same, but let us know in case you find any issue.
