WPMu and WP integration

  • Dear friends,

    I’ve got 2 different host in godaddy provider. First one of them is WP (2.9.1) and the other one is WPMU (2.9.1). And also I’m using WPMU and BuddyPress together.

    I wondered that if it’s possible my WPMU users and the other WP users use only one login. How it can be done? Who can show me true way? Integrate WPMU <–> WP .

    At least: I want to tell that: I need single login for two WP platform.

    Best regards,

  • One way (and easiest IMO) is to move your single WP install to WPMU and use Donncha’s Domain Mapping plugin to point domain name of single WP install to the virtual subdomain or virtual subdirectory of your WPMU install.
    e.g. WPMU site is at https://example.com/ and you have VHOST=NO (subdirectory)
    – you create another sub-blog at https://example.com/theWPsite
    – import content via XML (easier) or database (much harder)
    – install Domain Mapping Plugin and point to https://example.com
    – configure domain mapping to the subdirectory

    Hi,

    1. Download and Install WordPress.

    2. Import WordPress Data:from WordPress MU

    3. Create a New Blog.
    – Create a new blog in and take special note of the ID that WordPress SU gives to new blog. The ID is in the left most column of the blog.

    4. Migrate Data.

    From PHPMyAdmin take a look at old blog’s database. we have to export the following tables to a .sql file:

    * wp_comments
    * wp_links
    * wp_postmeta
    * wp_posts
    * wp_terms
    * wp_term_relationships
    * wp_term_taxonomy

    Open up the .sql in any text editor and globally replace “wp_” with “wp_{ID}_” (where {ID} is your blog’s ID).

    Now, in PHPMyAdmin at WordPress SU database we have already tables with names like “wp_1_posts”, etc, so prefix all the tables with blog ID in them with “old_”.

    Now, we have to rename those 7 tables, upload .sql file into WordPress SU database.

    5. Fix Author of Posts.

    Create a user in WordPress and assign all the posts to the admin user, run the following command in MU database:

    UPDATE wp_{ID}_posts SET post_author = 1

    That’s it!

    Note: we can import wp_options table to import blog settings at all. But it may create problems so it is better to leave that table and make require settings from wordpress MU admin panel.

    That’s it!

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
