   Hi,

   Is it possible to switch which site is the "root" site on a network with subdirectory install? I have a site at "/" and another site at "/draft" and I'd like to swap them.

   Can this be done?

   Thanks!

   Yes. I just did that in a test site to see what would happen. I edited the wp_blogs table directly in phpMyAdmin. The result seems a little weird, and I have not done any serious testing, but nothing very bad has happened so far.

   ...later...

   Ah, I see why it's weird. The wp_site table and the siteurl and home entries in both options tables have to be changed too.

   Thanks Rod. I'll give it a whirl, too. I was worried that the root blog needed to have ID=1 for some reason?
