Two multisites are using same BD wrongly

    I started a multisite first at /rio to test things out. When it was done I moved it to the root, and then I cloned it again to /rio

    The thing is I need a / installation for a select city page for my sites…

    I also create /paulista for another one and this is fine.

    so i started editing / and realized that the /rio was being edited at the same time.

    when I click on the site selection button I see the names are different, but when I Select either of them the names are identical even thou the folders are different.

    So I think I forgot to change something on the DB when I moved it down from /rio to / and the fact that I created a new /rio linked them somehow…

    Any ideas?

    Moving out of Multisite, as these are separate installs.

    Check the wp-config.php file and make sure you’re using the right DB names and prefixes for each separate site.

    I think you need to do a search and replace in your posts and post meta for the root url. e.g. search for http://limetimehostels.com/rio/ and replace with http://limetimehostels.com/

    Using the Permalink reset or changing the WordPress url does not change the link or image urls used in posts and needs to be done manually

    These are instructions for multisite in your case, but it may not be worth it for 2 sites, but it’s up to you

    Ok. You need to follow the instructions on the WordPress.org website for setting up multisite with the root blog.

    Then you need to create a WordPress export file for each other website. You need to import these into the main blog. You may need to do a search and replace on the database as for some reason the issues regarding image importing still haven’t been fully fixed (they will import over, but will still link to the old address). Don’t give the new sites the same url as the old ones or you won’t be able to import images, as the WordPress Mod Rewrite will stop you accessing the actual folder on the server and will give you the WordPress virtual one.

    If you need more help, just ask.

    Just remembered! Only search the tables for the site that needs fixing!
