delete/archive the original, primary site

  • Apologies if this has already been answered, but I didn’t see it when I searched.

    I set up multisite network, mapped domains to tall the sub-blogs, and I don’t use or need the main blog anymore. The domain that was mapped to this now redirects to a sub-blog.

    In wp-config I changed these lines:

    define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '______.com' ); //mapped domain of site #3
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 3 ); //changed from #1
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 3 ); //changed from #1

    But even so, when I go into network admin, I still have the option to delete or archive all sites — except #1, the original site.

    I would still like to delete this site. What do I have to do?

    You can’t do that with a mapped domain because you cannot have the mapped domain as the primary site on a network. It just doesn’t work :/

    Unless you plan to delete the main domain, leave it alone. It doesn’t matter to anyone but you what the main domain is ??

    If you MUST, then in your case, I would MOVE WordPress to the mapped domain (as a totally separate host install). Then you can swap the currently mapped domain back to it’s own URL (so newdomain.com/foo or foo.newdomain.com) and THEN you can swap the sites.
