    I made a mistake in setting up a multisite that is now live, didn’t follow best practice. I’d like to change the root (www.domian.com) to the domain.com instead so I don’t get a 404 when people try to go to ‘domain.com’

    Whats the best way to go about doing this? 🙂

    It isn’t too hard. Do you have access to the wordpress database as you will need to make changes there.

    Here are the options in the database to change

    wp_options: options named “siteurl” and “home”
    wp_site
    wp_sitemeta: the option named “siteurl”
    wp_blogs: any entries in the “domains” column that have the old domain name
    wp_#_options: Each sub-site will have sets of tables that correspond to the blog_id in the wp_blogs table. You need to go to the wp_#_options table, where # corresponds to the blog_id, and update the “siteurl” and “home” settings in that table.

    Yeah, I can get at the database, no problem.

    Basically looks like a bunch of find/replace ops would do the job?

    You cannot JUST to a blanket search/replace. You have to use a serialization safe script.
