Importing/Exporting a site to and from a Multisite Installation

  • Is this possible?
    If I am running a multisite installation with a few different website URL’s, is it possible to “Export” from the Multisite a particular website URL and contents and re-import it into a single site WordPress installation?

    How about the Opposite of that? Can I take a URL and site contents from a single site WP installation and “Import” that into a WP Multisite setup?

    You mean using the normal WP import/export features? Yes.

    To be clear, I can export a site that is part of a Multi-site installation (files & Database content) and import it back into a NON-multi site installation (and Vise Versa)?

    I ask as there are certain settings that are not the same.
    For example, in a NON-Multisite installation we have this option under “Settings>Media”:

    >>>Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders

    That option is NOT available in the Multi-Site setup.

    If that was unchecked in a NON-multisite setup and imported into a Multisite setup, would there be a conflict?

    Is there a good step by step tutorial on how we’d do this if I wanted to?

    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely, 100% yes ?? Of course! It’s just WordPress after all ??

    Thanks for that Mika. Per chance, is there a Guide as to how to go about that? I could probably figure it out, but I’d rather not reinvent the wheel if there is someone who has already compiled a nice step by step “How to”. Why miss something if I don’t have to, right?

    Again, thanks for the help.

    If you use the normal WP import/export features then it’s just that.

    If you want to do it manually with a DB and FTP, invest in a lot of painkillers.
