How to Change Multisite Subsite Blog ID

Hi Rapidasia, thanks for asking this question. Actually there are two ways to change the target blog IDs.

The first one can be done with a free version. You simply need to create a new subsite (Sites -> All Sites -> Add New). After the site is created, a new blog ID should be automatically generated by WordPress for that target subsite. You can then get the target blog ID of this subsite for use with Prime Mover. Once you get this new blog ID, you can then use this to create a new multisite package for restoring to the target site (please refer to Workaround #1 for doing this.)

The second one is a PRO feature. This is similar to the first solution, except that you can actually specify blog IDs when you create the new subsite. The first solution does not allow you to specific blog IDs as it is provided automatically by WordPress. The second solution allows you to do this as long as the blog IDs are still not used with any subsite (IDs should be unique to each subsite in a multisite).

In summary, here are relevant documentation for further reading:

1. Can I change the exporting Blog ID to another site importing blog ID?
2. How to get multisite target blog ID ?

I hope this answers your inquiry, please let me know if you have something to clarify. Thanks! ??
