How to merge two individual blogs into one? (4 posts)

    There are two individual blogs, such as:
    (1) http://www.****.com/blog1
    (2) http://www.****.com/blog2
    The version is 2.7.1

    In WP 3.0 it is possible to create multisite in one blog. So my question is:
    When upgrade these two blogs from 2.7.1 to 3.0, can I merge them into one database?
    If possible, how to merge?

    Thanks a lot

  2. I believe the only way is to create a new blog on your 3.0 install and then Tools -> Export and Tools -> Import the blog over.

    When doing an import, there's an option to import the attachments as well. However, this works directly between the two sites, meaning that the old site must be still alive and visible.

    Also, importing doesn't change the links to images and things to point to the new attachments imported, so you may need to use a search and replace plugin to fix those links after the fact.
