Make my mulitsite redesign my current site

  • I am desperately trying to make my redesigned site, that I created in my mulitsites, my main site. I have read over the codex and messed up on the very first step… I would really like to get this new site up but I am not having much luck. Can anyone suggest a different way of redesigning the site or possibly help me get things changed over. I’m not very experienced with back end of wordpress so please be patient with me. Thanks in advance!

    Just upload another theme and activate that for your main site.

    What’s broken then? Your description is very vague.

    My site is spiritofjefferson.com. It is active right now, however I redesigned the site at spiritofjefferson.com/test2 and want to make that the current site at spiritofjefferson.com. I tried to go into the database and change the wp_blog table. When I changed spiritofjefferson.com/test2 to just spiritofjefferson.com I get a 404 Error! Page Not Found. It was my redesigned site before I changed the table. I’m still trying to get the test2 site back. I am very nervous to change this stuff because this happens. I would just like some help/guidance in getting my site launched. As I said I am still learning this.

    That’s not how it works with Multisite, I’m afraid, and it’s really not the best way to do it.

    A couple things are going one.

    1) You need to change your blog IDs in the wp-config.php file:

    define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

    That means Site ID 1 is the main site. IF you change that, another site will be the main site.

    2) You have to change your blog URLs around so it knows sub.mysite is now mysite. You’ll probably have to do that in the DB directly.

    Be VERY careful!

    A better idea would be to copy the theme over and make any manual changes manually.
