Migrating 1 subDomain Blog (on Multisite) -> client.com/SubDir/ WordPress

  • REFUNDED

is there a plugin or migration script that can migrate this 1 subdomain site?
i tried BackupBuddy.. but it migrates the WHOLE NETWORK!

i want to build different subdomain sites on my MultiSite install and then deploy each 1 to different client servers.

if a script or plugin doesnt exist.. what are the EXACT steps to take?

thanks!

<< UPDATE >>>

unfortunately the export script has some issues:

1) is that images that weren't added through the media library fail to get moved over -- you have to upload them and update the paths yourself.

2) The other thing is that the process strips some stuff out of posts. Specifically I noticed YouTube embeds got lost, and if I'd included the HTML attribute 'id', that would get lost too.

so it seems that a custom migration script is in order... however ive been told that the table structures are sufficiently different to make that a challenge.

Who is up for it??

Have you tried the Export function under the Tools menu?

You must also copy the theme files to the new server.
