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. * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Can I use multisite to move my current site to a new subdirectory?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/) * Thread Starter [TheMeditatingCat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themeditatingcat/) * (@themeditatingcat) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/#post-6365820) * 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! * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Can I use multisite to move my current site to a new subdirectory?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/) * Thread Starter [TheMeditatingCat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themeditatingcat/) * (@themeditatingcat) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/#post-6365766) * 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](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. * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Can I use multisite to move my current site to a new subdirectory?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/) * Thread Starter [TheMeditatingCat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themeditatingcat/) * (@themeditatingcat) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/#post-6365763) * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/wordpress-move?filter=5) * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Can I use multisite to move my current site to a new subdirectory?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/) * Thread Starter [TheMeditatingCat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themeditatingcat/) * (@themeditatingcat) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/#post-6365760) * My site will be exactly the same when on /book.

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](http://www.themeditatingcat.com/book) and which to the root? Is that done under Settings>General Settings? * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Can I use multisite to move my current site to a new subdirectory?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/) * Thread Starter [TheMeditatingCat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themeditatingcat/) * (@themeditatingcat) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-use-multisite-to-move-my-current-site-to-a-new-subdirectory/#post-6365733) * 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 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
