Hi Forum,
Kindly help me to copy a single blog from one multisite website in localhost to paste it into another already existing multisite website in remote hosting server.
it is a sub domain blog -
Provide some tutorials or your guidelines.
Regards
Riaz
Export the posts from local host.
Import them into your remote host.
That's about it.

Just a note, you need to have the WordPress Importer plugin installed to follow Ipstenu's instructions. I was surprised to find out it didn't come pre-installed.
After that, Export / Import is in the WP Admin panel, so you should be all set.
I keep forgetting they took it out of core >.<

Hi,
Thanks for your tips. but i know this already.
I dont want to copy just posts , pages or categories.
But additionally i need to shift the plugin setups too. I know that the plugins are already available in the remote hosted multisite, but each individual blog has unique set up with the globally installed plugin.
Now i want to shift this individual set ups along with that copying individual blog to the remote multisite.
Any plugin available ?
Do you have any idea to touch the database directly? if yes, what are all the tables should i touch, please provide me a good tutorial like tips.
And it will be helpful to many multisite developers.

There's no easy way to do that right now. No plugins.
You could TRY to export the wp_X_* tables for that site and toss 'em in a new database, rename 'em wp_ and spend a lot of time fiddling.

Yes, i must do that , this is the only option i have. Please explain me what are all the things that i should takecare of. I have a good experience on exporting an entire database to a single sql file, and editing urls in it. but here it is different. I need to export particular tables. what are all they and what are all tweaks here I need to do, please explain elaborately.
Hope this help many multisite developers and even for the upcoming plugin development by some one.
There's no known tutorial about it yet. What I told you was what I know. Make a new site for WP, then export the wp_x_ tables, rename 'em wp_ and copy them up to your new WP site, replacing the extant tables. Pray for the best.

Ok, i understand, but the thing is different i dont want to make it as a single individual blog. let me explain again...
i have developed a multisite site with 3 sub domain blogs locally and i have migrated them entirely to my remote host already and everything is working fine and they are live now, so the database is keep on updating with new posts in each blogs. Now , i have added a new subdomain blog in the local multisite with same functionality(same plugins required) but with different posts,pages and categories. So now i would like to cody this 4th subdomain blog to my remote multisite which has the same global things.
I hope you understand now clearly.What should i do now?
You want to move BETWEEN two MultiSites? I missed that somehow...
I wouldn't.
Seriously. Just make the new site, keep both up and re-do the theme/widget/etc work to make it pretty, and then export/import. That is both easier AND safer than trying to merge DBs. Especially since you won't have to deal with a miss-match of User info.
You must log in to post.
