Hi Mika Epstein,
Uber Easy: Export and Import
This is straightforward. Install your new stand-alone WordPress instance, export the posts from brokebackblog.com/hulk, import them into hulksmashblog.com, customize the theme and plugins, done. If you don’t have a lot of users, this is the best bet. Yes, you’ll lose a lot of time resetting all the plugins and theme configs, but you probably had to do some of this anyway. All your comments come with, all your images too, so it’s going to be straightforward.
This looks like to be the easiest way for me. My wordpress server is a multi site server and it has other webpages but i really don’t care about them.. if I could turn off multi site in way so my company website would be the one left standing would be fine. And so i assume that my above quote is what i need?
but how do i do it? my site doesn’t have any post yet since it hasn’t been launched.. but it has allot of pages with allot of text and some pluigins .. what would be exported if i did that?
Thanks for answering and i went for red wine instead of beer 🙂

A page is a post. Same thing here. Export and import.
But read that WHOLE article, because it says if you do the export/import, you have to reset all your theme and plugin settings.
I saw that … but im not really sure what is ment? or what it would implicate… as it is now I have like 3 plugins i use.. I figure thats easy to do.. and google analytics isn’t set up yet so… but im not sure about the theme thing…
and where in wordpreses do i do the import export?
I’m going to be a little brutally honest here. If you’ve got no idea how to export and import content from WordPress, Multisite is way beyond your skill set and you never should have started with it.

Google “WordPress export content” and you’ll find all about how this works. When I say ‘it only exports post content’ I mean, literally just content. No plugin settings, no theme settings. Nothing.
However since you didn’t even know what that meant, it’s really the only option of the lot that you should attempt, since the others involve a lot more in-depth WP/DB skills, which you’re unlikely to have right now, and the learning curve is steep.
My thoughts excatly!
I got one more solution that will work for me… I have to problems with my current multisite server..
1.
mysite is located at http://192.168.1.34/mycompany
could you somehow move the sites around so that mycompany would respond on http://mycompany.dk?? and then move the other sites to point to http://mycompany.dk/othersite
in all meaning that when i client type http://mycompany.dk he reach mycompany.dk and not the other root site…
2.
I have come to understanding that since i used my ip in the wordpress installation it will not respond to the corrosponding name? i say this because i opend my site to the public from my home address expecting people would be able to see my company site by visitng http://mycompany.dk/mycompany but it just said “it works” I suppose it showed the root site… can this be changed if im right?
thanks for your input.. i will google how to do the export…
WordPress (be it single or multisite) does NOT easily understand multiple ‘homes.’ If you installed it wirh your home and site URLs as 123.45.67.89, then THAT is your home.
If you want ti to be something different, you would move it. HOWEVER. You have two issues.
1) Moving from the IP to the domain is complicated, but not impossible. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite
2) Moving from a subfolder to the root of your domain IS tricky and complicated, and while not impossible, very much advanced work. You would generally want to treat it like Moving WP again.
Personally I’d do it twice. Once to change the IP to teh domain, second to remove the subfolder.
Hi Mika,
Thanks for your input.. I have come to the conclution that i must take the bull by the horns and do a manual copy paste … I need to get this going .. but i’m having a problem with the customizr theme on my new single install wordpress server which i have going on the customizr forum… apparently god is not done punishing me 🙂
