Migrating from Networks for WordPress to WP Multi-Network

I’d be interested in this too. What I find is that I can’t create a new network built on a new domain and use the base site from one that is already exists within the WordPress system.

It’s changed the way I setup a new domain. Now if I have a new domain I always start a new network for it just to allow a new network to develop off it should that ever be required. Otherwise it simply remains a network of one site. It keeps future possibilities open.

I’ve removed the Networks For WordPress plugin and added the WP Multi-Network… but as Justin stated I can not add a network (but justin for the life of me I can’t follow how you got things working?)

Whats hard to understand is when adding network, there is no error message or anything to indicate why its failing, just a statement of “Network not created. Back to Networks.”

I’m wondering if my wp-config.php is overloaded… or not compatible with between the two. Does anyone who has a successful config have any more detail on what should NOT be retained?

Are we scorched earth trying to run our old sites and new over a DB that had both versions of the Networks in place?

Why is WordPress not standardizing networks management within their offering ? This is a difficult migration path to maintain as plugin projects lose their teams…

To make responding easier; This is an example of what I have, obviously modifying my domain to example.com. I noted that the brief “installation instructions” for the plugin just note to comment out “DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE”… but doing this does not appear to modify the behavior. Should I be droppping more from the config to be compatible with “WP Multi Network”?

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
#define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

Issue Resolved;

2 issues were preventing things from working

1) the network title field was not being filled in properly
2) bad .htaccess from old multi-network instructions (pre 3.6 version)

The above example for the wp-config.php from my previous post was correct, and worked without modification.

WP Multi-Network appears to be working with the older “Networks for WordPress” sites as well at this point. I’ll continue setup and testing, thanks for publishing this plugin.
