• Hi everyone,

    I had to setup a new multi-site on an alternative host.
    What would be the easiest way to move the site from one multisite to another?
    Is there a plugin which I could use to completely back up the site’s content and setup and import it into the new multisite?

    Thank you.

  • Hi there, I’ve migrated sites of a dozen or fewer pages in less than 20 minutes without the need for a plugin.

    If it’s a small, simple site you can move it pretty quickly by going to Tools > Export on the old site and Tools > Import on the new one. You should set up the theme, plugin, settings, users, etc., first. If you have custom content type created/supported by a particular plugin, you should activate that plugin before trying to import the content.

    There are several plugins that can migrate sites, which is useful if you have a larger/more complex installation. I found a list at https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/8-plugins-for-safely-moving-wordpress/. However, some may be more adept than others at migrating a single site from one multisite to another. If you don’t get any further feedback here, you may want to check via the plugin’s support forum for feedback on how well it migrates a single site from multisite.
