Existing Blogs, Directory Structures

  • I have two questions in regards to 3.0 and the multi-user system:

    1.) Can I combine multiple existing installations into a single MU installation? I currently have 4 separate installations I’d like to retain, if possible, upon upgrading to 3.0 and enabling MU.

    2.) Is there flexibility in the directory structuring? I ask because I currently have my site set up with users having one of two options – they either get a wordpress blog only in the directory /name/, OR they get access to the directory wholesale to make a homepage, with a wordpress blog at /name/blog/. Is this possible to maintain while using MU in 3.0?

    If not, am I basically relegated to using /name/ as the blog locations, and using link structure to build a /main/ section or something along those lines for the rest of their content?

  • 1. Yes

    2. Yes. Create two pages, one named “Home” and one “Blog”. Set the permalink of the “Blog” page to blog. Go to Settings -> Reading and select the option for a static front page. Set your Front Page to be “Home” and your Posts Page to be “Blog”. That should get you what you want.
