• We are using serveral blogs. Since we have been using WordPress for many years, new blogs have been created and old ones deleted. We wanted a private blog to hold a exact backup of one blog’s posts, so I copied those database tables to a newly created blog. After that I realised I copied the options table as well – mistake. But I also changed the url, and other things for difference.
    About a week later I realised that when I viewed all my blogs (Dashboard -> My Sites [~/wp-admin/my-sites.php]), the copied blog name appeared in place of the original. How can I get it back?
    Previously I copied and manipulated the database to create a local version, modified some of the .php files to contain custom code and merged plug code, but I cannot find where the problem is. I’ve looked at the wp_blogs, site, sitemeta and even the blog options tables, but because there is so many blogs I can’t see the cause. Please help.

  • Got a backup?

    If you can remember the blog ID of the original blog, then you can mess around from there, making sure the copied blog is different where it needs to be.

    Either way, you’ve got some eye bleeding db work to do. 😉

    Next time, either Export your posts or just make db backups.
