That depends on how you changed your site and the design. If it’s JUST a theme, it’s easy. Copy the theme over.
If it’s the theme and a bunch of settings and the theme doesn’t have a good way to export… It’s not easy and not recommended.
Basically you’d want to manually copy the theme over and make the design changes again in the settings.
Well thats a lot of work and a lot of downtime. If I just copy the theme code and have to resetting all the things that will take weeks to do it. As I have other works to do and cant give my full time into rebuilding a site which is already has been built in the dev section. I was planning build the new site completely in the dev section, including all the content and other things and then transfer the site to the live one. But it seems that’s not possible at any way.
Also I’m planning to use http for my /blog/ page and all my blog posts as Adsense earning gets really low with https but wanna use https for rest of my site. I know you will say that there is plugin to do that, but I really don’t wanna use plugin for this and so asking if this can be done by adding somefunction in the function.php?

It shouldn’t take WEEKS. You did it once. You just go through the few screens for theme setup (customizer, menus, widgets) and that really should be it. If it takes you a week to dupe everything, then IMO that’s a lousy theme. I’ve never had it take me more than a half-day, and that was when I was playing with the kids. Oh and I’m NOT a designer 🙂 I’m a monkey with a crayon.
The problem is all that data is stored in your wp_options table, and you can’t really just copy that over 1:1 for a multisite (or even a single site to be honest).

It is. You can switch bewteen two sites on the network. But we really mean SWITCH. You’d lose your content, which gets you right back to where you are not.

That won’t be easy if you don’t use a plugin. I’m just gonna put that out there. WordPress HTTPS is a great plugin. There’s a reason we like it.
Thank you very much for your reply. I will keep everything you said in mind at the time of the movement. 🙂 Thanks for all your help.
