Issue: i have an multisite setup however initially when i first setup my site i didn't know that i should have use virtual folder in multisite rather than doing an whole setup of an secondary blog into another folder, then i changed the capabilities file to match main blog, as well as the encryption keys are the same for one time login, however my issue is that i want to move from the folder setup of secondary blog and import all my post, category, menus and all from that blog into an virtual blog instead. when i try to export all my blog info from second blog which i got the xml file with the settings, and i try to import into my virtual folder on multisite nothing gets imported, i chkec database on my server to be sure that nothing wasn't in the tables and it was empty i need assistance moving my post, menus and all from secondary blog in its actual folder to my virtual multisite setup intead. i still have the xml file and still can't import into virtual site dashaboard using wordpress import feature nothing shows up, no post, no menus no nothing but it acts like it was imported

There's a lot going on here....
Let's step back :)
You have WordPress installed at mainsite.com
You have a second one installed in mainsite.com/secondsite
You want to merge those two. Do you want to just move /secondsite so all the posts are in mainsite.com or are you actually trying to make a multisite?

thanks for responding heres the setup your part correct let me explain further sorry for not clarifying
Main Blog A :: is Multisite mainsite.com
Blog B :: mainsite.com/blogbi created an multisite in network dashboard to move blog b into because that folder is in different folder but same database with different prefix, however i want to move all content from second blog into virtual multisite instead. the reason is because i don't want to go through hassle configured capabilities files and such to get one time login and it doesn't work %100 because even though i can login with my blog a credentials my avatar is different on blog (B). plus am trying to clean up the server too much files that is unnecessary when site should have been an virtual site rather than an actual secondary installation setup

But blogb is a separate install you said? Right? So that is not multisite. Yet.
Do you want blogb to be a multisite? Don't worry about details right now :) There are just a lot of directions we can go with this, and I want to make sure we do the right one! Just yes or no :)

The code doesn't matter. YET. You have to take things in order, step by step.
The wp-config, actually, won't ever matter. We're not going to use it.
What we're going to do is, as you've done, export blogb. now hang on to that XML file, and do not delete or touch blogb. Leave it alone right now.
Go back to mainsite.com
Create a new subsite, call it blogc - At this point, you want a different name than blogb, but you want the same number of letters in the name. SO if blogb is really joecool, then you should make your newsite joecoo2.
Import that XML file into blogc. You want to bring in the images, so check the box for that.
Verify it works.
Then we can clean up blogb and get the name back :)

A white screen is actually an error message :)
It means you have a PHP error.
How big is blogb?

am still having the same issue thought it was fixed, the issue is i moved the images from secondary blog, and moved them into blogs.dir/5/files/ so forth then all most have been imported along with menus an so forth i didn't click the download attachment link because i had updated the xml file to the correct new paths where the images are, but am not seeing how the site originally was when i import data images and thumbs are missing not showing there thumgs and images..

You moved the images and then moved the files?
I'm really not sure what you did, but you certainly went a hard way around...

oka lets start over so i created an new site i didn't moved any images from blog b folder nor have i imported any xml files as of yet just base theme with its settings nothing changed also in settings tab under network menu for the subsite, what shall i do with the xported xml now , take into consideration that i can import post, categorys, menus an authors, but download and file attachments never gets imported it goes through its process as if its importing then just stuck at an white screen nothing been displaying said done or anything , when i chk blogs.dir/#/ no images are there so lets go through it again your way thanks

am not able to import because of this error here
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 130023424) (tried to allocate 20536 bytes) in /root/365/serverid/htdocs/webfolder/wp-includes/media.php on line 258
and i see this when i use safar browser, its funny enough reason i tried that browser is because i remember i fixed an issue using that browser, not saying its an browser issue, but for some reason in chrome, and firefox am not seeing that error at all it just shows an white screen. i did try to increase my memory limit and execution time using this directive in the wp-config.php file located in the root of my main installation multisite, i added it to the header right after <?php
set_time_limit(320);
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');am not sure anymore what to do i have created several multisite blogs to and tried over ten times literally and to import, am at now blog numder 23 if i delete this one so i have been trying various ways numberous times. and still nothing
