    I made a mistake in setting up a multisite that is now live, didn’t follow best practice. I’d like to change the root (www.domian.com) to the domain.com instead so I don’t get a 404 when people try to go to ‘domain.com’

    Whats the best way to go about doing this? ??

    It isn’t too hard. Do you have access to the wordpress database as you will need to make changes there.

    Here are the options in the database to change

    wp_options: options named “siteurl” and “home”
    wp_site
    wp_sitemeta: the option named “siteurl”
    wp_blogs: any entries in the “domains” column that have the old domain name
    wp_#_options: Each sub-site will have sets of tables that correspond to the blog_id in the wp_blogs table. You need to go to the wp_#_options table, where # corresponds to the blog_id, and update the “siteurl” and “home” settings in that table.

    Yeah, I can get at the database, no problem.

    Basically looks like a bunch of find/replace ops would do the job?

    You cannot JUST to a blanket search/replace. You have to use a serialization safe script.
