# Undo network feature

 * Is it possible to undo (and redo) the enabling of the network feature in 3.0 
   without deleting the entire installation of WP?
 * I have a suspicion that the process of enabling the network feature on my install
   was incomplete/errored at some point but didn’t inform me.
 * I’d like to do it again from the beginning (I have a MySQL back-up of my database
   before the attempt but not of the core files).

 * Yep.
 * – take out the lines you added in wp-config
    – put back the single WP htaccess
   file (empty will work too) – drop the extra tables that were added

 * Ah, it’s that simple?
 * Can I just drop all the WP tables and import the backup?

 * ohthenoes,
 * Follow andrea_r’s step 1 and 2 then followed by yours – drop table then import.

 * import as long as you wanted to kepe the posts on the other blogs. 🙂
 * Also, you can delete the other blogs from the backend first, and it will prompt
   you to move the posts to the main blog. (I forget about that feature. Annoying
   to some, very useful to others.)

 * I see. Much thanks for that 🙂
 * I’d been worried that some core files might have been modified and needed fixing
   or something.

 * Sure… um… What are the extra tables? I don’t tend to troll through the SQL frequently,
   so I’m not 100% sure which ones are the newbies.

 * These would be some of them:
 * wp_blogs
    wp_blog_versions wp_registration_log wp_signups
 * Where “wp_” would be replaced with your table prefix. Also, there might be some
   others though I’m not sure. These are just off the top of my head.

 * Thanks. I figured site and site_meta, blogs, and blog_versions, but I wasn’t 
   sure about the others.
 * OK, I’ve dropped those tables, reset the .htaccess and wp-config.php files to
   their old values, and still Google XML Sitemap says it just KNOWS I’m running
   multisite and hates me for it. Should I just give up now?

 * That’s why I said uninstall the plugin, then reinstall and reactivate it.

 * After uninstall, reinstall, reactivate and still seeing the same error message,
   I just switched to a different XML sitemap generator that is happy with Multisite
   installs. It’s curious that the Arne Brachhold XML plugin still thinks I’m in
   multisite without those tables or config files. Must be something subtle…

 * **I’m dim**. I somehow ended up with an enable multisite definition even in the“
   backup” wp-config file. I’ll go hide in shame now. Thanks for your patience.

 * Could you link or name which XML sitemap generator plugin works well with Multisite
   please?
 * I had to give up the one you had issues with on several sites, but it’d be nice
   to have a replacement (at least until the author of the problematic one updates
   his).

 * Can anyone tell me if deleting all of those will delete the main page blog posts?
   I have the ones that I want to delete but I don’t want to delete the main page
   blog.
