Moving from subfolder to subdomain installation
-
I’m having a hard time converting a WordPress Mu 2.8.6 installation from subfolder to subdomain.
Current:
URL for the main blog: http://www.domain.tld/blogs/
URL for the rest of the blogs: http://www.domain.tld/blogs/username/
What I want it to be:
URL for the main blog: http://blogs.domain.tld/
URL for the rest of the blogs: http://blogs.domain.tld/username/
Steps I’ve taken so far:
1. Changed BASE in .htaccess and wp-config.php to equal “/”
2. Ran the following SQL queries:UPDATE wp_blogs SET domain = 'blogs.domain.tld'; UPDATE wp_blogs SET path = (SELECT SUBSTR(path, 7)); (This removed '/blogs/' from every path entry) UPDATE wp_site SET domain = 'blogs.domain.tld'; UPDATE wp_site SET path = '/'; UPDATE wp_site_posts SET post_permalink = REPLACE(post_permalink, 'http://www.', 'http://blogs.'); UPDATE wp_site_posts SET post_permalink = REPLACE(post_permalink, '/blogs/', '/');
3. I have a script that hits every wp_X_options table and changes the siteurl, home, and fileuploads values to reflect the new URL. I’ve verified that the values are in the database correctly.
4. Re-saved the permalink options
5. Deactivated all plugins.
Results:
1. The main blog page comes up just fine at http://blogs.domain.tld/ as does the admin page for the main blog.
2. When I click on a link for a blog (not a specific blog post), I get redirected to the main blog page. Nothing in error log. Access log shows a 200.
3. When I click on a link for a specific blog post, I receive “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria”.
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / #uploaded files RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L] RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$ RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule . - [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-\.]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-\.]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] <IfModule mod_security.c> <Files async-upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </Files> </IfModule> # END WordPress
If anyone has any ideas on this, I’d be most appreciative.
