    I have now tested enough with my blog site test.abc.com
    Now I want to rename/move it to blog.abc.com

    However, multi-site does not have in General settings the URL included. How am I going to move now?

  • If it one of the sites in the abc.com network, go to Super Admin -> Sites, find the test blog, click EDIT.

    Edit the address there & save.

    Unfortunately, that does not work.

    The main site is GREY, I cannot change the URL there. I can change only in the sub-blogs.

    I have setup the network as:

    http://test.abc.com <– main site

    http://test.abc.com/blog-1
    http://test.abc.com/blog-2
    http://test.abc.com/blog-3
    http://test.abc.com/blog-4

    Ah… it sounded like you wanted to change one of the sub sites,.

    For the main domain, you need to do a search & replace in the entire database. Yes really. It’s even saved as part of the URLs for all the subsites too.

    Since my blog site is just a couple of days old the easiest way was:

    1. move the directory to the new place
    2. exported with phpMyAdmin the entire database (including drop table statement)
    3. opened the database dump with a text editor and with search / replace changed the string
    4. imported the database with phpMyAdmin and replaced so all tables

    Worked!

    One part I was missing:

    5. change wp-config.php
    from:
    define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘test.abc.com’ );
    to:
    define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘blog.abc.com’ );

    (I hope it was all)
