Hi Andrea,
Ultimately I have succeeded in that, I generated a SQL script and did a search and replace before importing it into the new database.
The other thing I missed time and again was the ‘SiteURL’ setting being set from the configuration file which I was not used to – it was initially configured by WPMUDev on the old domain.
Now am faced with another silly challenge of changing the upload folder for this addon domain as have posted in an other post.
Thanks for your support.

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for your response, I did like that and it works. Fortunately somehow I managed to get the wildcard domains working on this addon domains as well – with the help of Psek people.
Thanks,

I am totally out of luck today ..

I am trying to install a fresh copy of the WP3.0 on Psek using – 2nd copy for the same account, in an addon domain – The problem is that I can not use the Root folder and have to use a directory, but want to retain the URL as https://www.mainblog.com, would appreciate any help if I can achieve this? and how to setup redirection for this which seems to be the only option.
Thanks,

What I did to find and replace is
I export the database tables and then have edited that SQL file to find and replace all the references to the old domain. But am out of luck even then.

Whenever I try to access this domain legalbloggers.co.uk it redirects to
https://legisblogs.co.uk/wp-signup.php?new=legalbloggers.co.uk, which is like it is attempting to create a sub-domain to the old domain.

Another thing just came in my mind what if I do the following
1: backup existing database pointing to olddomain.com
2: using the search-and-replace plugin change all the things to point towards the new domain
3: take the back and restore it to the database created for the newdomain.com blog
4: restore the database for the olddomain.com

Think it will succeed?

Hi Andrea, I have done this manually in wp_1_options table and have replaced all the instances I could find, but to no avail.
Samuel, I am unable to access the Admin panel of the new domain so don’t think can install or use this plugin?

Hi Andrea,
I will really appreciate if you could help me out in this I did try to shift the main domain and change the settings manually where necessary, but when I try to login to the Admin panel it redirects to the old domain instead even though the client side works fine.
The subdomains are not important for me to retain in this case and can live even without them.

Sorry, just found it is named as wp_1_options?
Thanks,

Thanks for your support, these forums are really an important source of information and knowledge sharing.

I just want the option to create the blog site to be taken away from the sub-domains instead.

This is the link to the blog .. I am doing for my client .. https://legisblogs.co.uk/

Yes ipstenu, that’s what I want to achieve on my MultiSite blog as well. I would appreciate if you can give me a little incite into how to achieve this?

Yes, let us say domain.com is my main domain and sub.domain.com is a sub-domain created by someone else.
I only want the sub-domain to be created when someone visits the domain.com blog.
Right now the visitors of sub.domain.com are also able to create a sub-domain which I want to restrict.
Thanks,
