How to migrate one blog in multisite install to a single install?

  • Hi

    I have a muti site install. I have one blog that I want to migrate to single install for a client. I have downloaded or exported the XML files of the blog. The new host tells me that the database for this blog is also required.

    I have no clue how to backup and download only the database for this one blog on this multi install.

    I have two questions?

    1) Is it possible to download the database for one blog – where the blog is part of a muti install?

    2) Can I blog be effectively exported and re imported only from the XML files? Or is there another way to re-create this site on a single install?

    Regards

    Johan

    Hi

    I am confused by that solution. Is that the same as what I am talking about. ??

    You are wanting to export the database (from a single Multisite install) and import in on a single install (not multisite) right? Check that link. Further down someone links to a how-to that is basically the opposite but it explains what you need to do. Export the database through phpmyadmin and then import it and do a search and replace for prefixes.

    Hi ryansantschi

    Thanks kind friend.

    I used that link and was able to id the database files associated with the blog and was able to get Hostgator to download it for me. I now have the template files, the XML files and the database. This should be good to go. But it looks like a coder would be needed to adjust some urls.

    You call it do a search and replace for prefixes. That’s what I mean. I have no clue. And the owner of the site wants to know.
