In reply to: How to migrate a subdomain from WP.com to WP.org Multisite?Yeah… this is what I’m learning. But it’s all good – the exposure has taught me a number of things.
Thanks again!

In reply to: How to migrate a subdomain from WP.com to WP.org Multisite?Well… this isn’t working out.
I tried the MU-Migration tool, but it wouldn’t install. git clone failures that I don’t have the bandwidth to dig into right now.
I tried some other “manual” ways I found, and I got most of the way there… but things like media didn’t import over.
And I admit, as I’m working through this, the more I start to think that, given some of the legacy baggage I’m dealing with, the solution here may wind up being that I have 2 WP.org installs: one at and for the foo.com and general stuff about the site, then a second blog.foo.com installed as a cPanel subdomain with a second WP.org install within that subdomain’s directory. It’s not ideal to have 2 WP installs, but I think with all the legacy involved it’s probably the best I can do right now.
Maybe down the road I can investigate Multisite again, but for now this is mostly about getting this project put to bed.
Alan – thank you so much for your time and help. I appreciate it muchly.

In reply to: How to migrate a subdomain from WP.com to WP.org Multisite?Hi Alan. Thank you for the reply.
So you’re saying basically:
- Create a temp subdomain like temp.foo.com
- Install a fresh WP.org install at temp.foo.com
- Migrate fooblog.wordpress.com to temp.foo.com
- Disconnect blog.foo.com subdomain from wp.com and do the DNS work to make it go from foo.com proper
- Create WP.org Multisite site for blog.foo.com
- Export from temp.foo.com, import to blog.foo.com
- Delete temp.foo.com
And hopefully all should be well??
If so, I’ll give it a shot (it’s proving an interesting learning experience). If it fails, I’ll look at the subdirectory route.
Thank you!
