2 users, same person

  • When I originally started using WordPress, my user name was gigiperrin with an email address (113 posts). When I switched over to Bluehost and imported/exported to WordPress, I had to set up the user name “admin” with a different email address (16 posts).

    1) Am I able to merge the two user names into one?

    2) None of my old posts are viewed from my NetworkedBlogs feed nor are my new ones. The old ones get fed to an Error 404 Bluehost page. How do I correct that?

    My URL is https://avocationsunlimited.com
    Thanks, Gail

  • If you delete one of the users (delete link from the users page), you’ll be presented with the option to attribute all posts/links from that user to another one on the site – that should allow you to merge the 2 users. Just make sure you don’t select “Delete all posts and links” before you hit “ok”. In fact, maybe make a backup beforehand just in case.

    As for the other issue – I’m not really familiar with NetworkedBlogs, but did your permalinks settings change after you switched hosts? I see you now have permalinks disabled (the post urls end in ?p=123 etc) – were they different before (like avocationsunlimited.com/this-is-my-post)?
