Thanks @susanwrotethis
Sorry for the delayed reply.

The site is HornAffairs.com
The subsites are HornAffairs.com/am/, /tg/, and /om/.

I am thinking if the three subsites could simply be Custom Post Types on the main site HornAffairs.com

Hello Chris,
You only needed to put that once even if you are going to apply multiple ads?
Where exactly did you put it?
Thanks.

Oh. I see.
Not sure this is a good or practical idea because I will have insert several codes if I want to link other keywords similarly.

Thanks very much for the help.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

But where do I apply the code?

@moderator.
Perhaps you should move it to networking wordpress support forum, considering the number of related problems postes there – even if my post is not a support question.

My post is not a fix or feature request to WordPress core, rather to how we use it or advice people to use it.

You may as well delete it. No personal interst here.

Check the site info on the
/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
or the
/wp-admin/network/sites.php
(depending on your site structure) and check for the siteurl and home url fields.

I am no expert but I believe you didn’provide sufficient information.

What exactly are you seeing when you try to access to old primary domain or the new primary domain?
Is it subdomain only multisite? Or you have subsites as well?…..

Looks like a defect.
Why on earth display username in the first place?

Thank Cristian.
Let me get feedback from my partners and I will email your offices.
One of my partners said, the style is okay. We only need to fix the height and that might be done with CSS codes.
Now, I can see the default post title style could be of interest to others. ??
I thought it was a defect.

Very good theme.

[I have another crucial question, but I will post it in the support forum]

Twice, I came contemplating to change this rating, but you simply reconfirmed the appropriateness of my rating.

Just to be clear:

At the time, most commercial themes were either $60 or $75. Yours was $75 and I paid that.
I don’t know why you keep whining that the price of the theme was small. You set the price, not me. I wasn’t on a discount offer. I paid the price, the full price.

Secondly, I had only three or four issues. Which apparently the theme wasn’t able to do, like the slider image size, which were supposed to be flexible.

I can go on and on.

The rest of mh points mentioned above are solid. Even if you tried to act smart and trash them. (The suggestion that I could have asked the ticket questions again via email is ridiculous at so many levels.)

Anyway, Don’t have the time to engage in insincere debate.

The bottom line is:
It wasn’t that I needed your support desperately. I taught myself decent level of wordpress just as a hobby.

It is your obnoxious attitude that put me off. Just like the attitude you are showing here.

I use several premium services – hosting, CDN, support, etc. I could have threw a few extra bucks for you too. But when you were unable to provide helpful or friendly response to a few explanatory questions, how can I trust you to hire you for extra works?

That’s where you failed. And keep failing.

Thanks.
I was able to get some idea.

But WordPress itself recommended hand-editing in one case.

manually review all the wp_x_options tables and look for three fields and edit them as needed:

home
siteurl
fileupload_url

This brings back the question, what exactly you guys mean by serialization.

Is it something that has refers to the internal consistency/coherence of the database?
Or it has something to do with the database’s ability to communicate with future wordpress versions..?

This is not a theoretical question. It determines how you can check or verify the integrity of the database.

——–
In the absence of any material on this topic, I believe the issue meets the previous forum’s criteria of being more in-depth or complex than the usual So, I wish you return this post to that forum.

If you believe this is an elementary question, please provide a link to any explanatory material. Since WordPress is an open source, no question is off limits. Right?

Thanks Steve. That’s reassuring.

Good question Daniel.

It appears the image files don’t follow the post content when you moved site-2 into becoming the main site.

Why would they!
They have different permalink structures from posts and pages.

Therefore, you will have to do a few more things:
-> search and replace the image urls in the database
-> Then move the image files from wp-content/uploads/site/2/ to wp-content/uploads/.

Perhaps, a shortcut?
I suspect it might be possible to use a shortcut.
Just go to the main site’s settings. On the upload path space (which is normally blank), specify the old path as the upload path.
This way, the new main site might continue to serve images from site-2 folder. And you wouldn’t need to update image urls or move images.

The shortcut method is not tested. So, if it breaks your site, I am not responsible. But if it works, I hold the patent and expect royalty fees.

Just answering my own questions. Why not. ??

Good question, Daniel.

1/How to list and compare

A/Inside your cPanel, open File Manager, select the concerned folder and create a zip (or Gzip) of the folder.
B/Then, select the zip and click view. A new tab will open with the list of the contents of your folder. You can copy it to MS Word or Excel.
C/Do the same with other folders and compare the lists.

Take note of your disk space usage before using this method.

2/Regarding moving images

Apparently, there is no reason why you can’t move the contents of the uploads folder. Of course, you will have to take care of links in your database if the images were attached to other contents.

If you are moving entire folders, ask the web hosting staff to do it for you. If it is a good host and/or you are on higher plans, they will do it at once.

If you have anymore questions, don’t hesitate to post on WordPress forums. At worst, you will end up answering your own questions. ??

UPDATE

I run wp search-replace on wp_postmeta and wp_posts to change domain.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/ with domain.com/wp-content/uploads/

That didn’t help.

I am wondering whether the images of the new main site are supposed to be after switching main site? In /wp-content/uploads/ or in wp-content/uploads/sites/2?

Or should I manually move images from /wp-content/uploads/sites/2/ into the appropriate year/month folder in wp-content/uploads/ ?
