Haha, in my mind you are!
No, I tried changing the page dates and it didn’t work (I don’t have any posts either). But hey, it turned out to be really simple with converting from subdomain to subdirectory so no worries. If I have any related issues I’ll post here, but I think I’m good.
Alright looks like everything went off without a hitch. I’ve migrated my site, used a widget importer & exporter plugin to make it easier. Just need to check if my product can still be bought there.
A plugin ‘LazyLoad XT’ I had to disable because it completely cut off my access to the Network Admin Dashboard. I’ll find alternatives I think.
Going to create my blog on the root of the site with a maintenance banner up in the meantime. Happy days!
Thanks a lot for your help jhnpldng, you’re a legend!
Alright, I’ll probably migrate everything manually then, and activate and double check the plugin settings, etc. I didn’t use a one click installer.
So after that is done, to set up my blog on http://www.themeditatingcat.com root I guess I have to delete everything there, install a new theme, and make the site how I want it. Is there a quick way to do that ‘reset’?
And thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it. I’ll execute this all tomorrow morning, and aim to get it all done in a day so I don’t miss too much traffic, haha. If I have any problems I’ll reply here.
That seems like an awful lot of work. There are a lot of elements to move over. If I do that, will I still have the same plugins active, with the same settings in place when I copy+paste the pages and widget sections to /book?
Or maybe there is an easier way, maybe a plugin like this would work?: https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/wordpress-move?filter=5
My site will be exactly the same when on /book. Would I have to copy everything in the www folder of my hosting?
Okay, this looks good I’ll try it, including the page date trick. I just have a few questions before I start
1. With multisite, I have one set of plugins and themes, but is it possible to uninstall/install a plugin for example on JUST one site? So in a way have some plugins/themes unique to just one site.
2. In what step would I choose which wordpress site goes to http://www.themeditatingcat.com/book and which to the root? Is that done under Settings>General Settings?
Thanks for the reply jhn.
I’m thinking that maybe you could detail the way to get the subfolder on a 30+ day old site. My site is about 9 months old or so. Because I’m assuming this way would be easier for maintenance, for example if i update plugins on one site, they automatically update on the other? Correct me if I’m wrong.
If it’s not easier to manage through that method, though I will export my site and move it to /r/books. Could you detail this method a little bit more please? I don’t want to mess anything up, haha
