Importing previous subdomains into wp-multisite

    previously i’ve been using wp 2.7.1, and since wp 3 multi site function is very awesome, i intend to remove that subdomain and add a new one thru my main panel. so that i will have less blogs to manage.

    so back to the previous subdomains, it has bout 2-3k of posts and images.
    images is stored in subdomain.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/

    so now when i’ve deleted the subdomain and add it to my multisite virtually, the images in each post shows up empty, since the new default images folder is domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files

    how do i resolve the problem?
    it’s impossible for me to change and edit all of the images by hand/manually

    you could with a script though. 😀

    You can also put copies of the old photos still in the same /wp-content/uploads/ spot. Yes, they woudl be mixed up in with the ones from the main blog, but they;d still work.

    what script would it be?

    my images url in post is subdomain.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/abblog/cache/

    the original folder where images is stored, is in a cache folder for a plugin,

    public_html/subdomain/wp-content/plugins/abblog/cache/

    and my images in post is like

    subdomain.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/abblog/cache/

    i can move all the files in

    public_html/subdomain/wp-content/plugins/abblog/cache/
    to
    public_html/wp-content/plugins/abblog/cache/

    and all post in my new virtual subdomain are able to load pictures without a problem?

    sorry im abit lengthy, but i had to make sure of the end result im getting 🙂

    Copy, don’t move, so you have them in both locations. Kludgy but it works.

    what script would it be?

    A SQL script.

    thanks andrea.
    i have my hosting copied the folder
    i think bout 4k of images.

    btw, this is a bit off topic,
    is there any way to duplicate the whole wpmu settings when i create a new subdomain?
    cuz for example, my main domain theme is customized.
    but when i create a new subdomain, and use the theme, it show up using the default theme w/o customisation.

    and settings of each and every plugin has to be set again from scratch.
    is there any way to duplicate/clone the whole settings/themes exactly?

    Not yet. Someone is working on a (pay-for) plugin to do that. They’re not done yet, that I heard 🙂

    @mondmond88 – there is a cool plugin which handles plugin settings sitewide http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/
