WP Multi-Network need details of network to site mapping

  • So to get around the issues with WP Multi-Network management, we’ve had to approach database cleanup. Can someone speak to what database table is defining the values that appear in the WP Multi-Network menu?

    We had a import (using multi-site import) create a second child site of the same site URL, and are trying to recover.

    Getting some details of the WP Multi-Network impementation at this point will at least make it safe for teams to operation. A writeup of the DB layer based on the 2014 WP Multi-Network would be a nice gift to the user community.

    One thing I’ve found that helped sort out the relationship between the base install blog and the network/multi-site blogs was the database structure that is created.

    The following site has a good writeup, on multi-site, and teh multi-network is very close to this.

    I dont suggest doing this (changing primary domain) unless you are prepared to troubleshoot redirection (have more that the 2 domains you are working with configured already so you can fall back to connecting to the wp-admin/network on that site to start working on recovering.
    MAKE DATABASE BACKUP NOW
    Basically the default tables created with the base install blog are
    NO REALLY, GO MAKE A DATABASE BACKUP NOW
    wp_[tablename]

    The important ones for domain to site to blog are

    wp_options
    wp_site
    wp_blogs

    Once you create additional Multi-Site blogs (or multi-network child site) you will see the same table structure, but with a number in front of it.

    ##_wp_options
    ##_wp_site
    etc. etc.

    You can resolve what blog-id/site-id is to which domain from looking at wp_blogs
