But recently, the use of WordPress multisite for my websites proved to be more of a hassle than a help and I decided to move some of my sites into single WordPress installations. In this post I will outline the broad level steps I took to accomplish this move from a multisite to single installation of WordPress with zero downtime.<\/p>\n<p>As there are variety of variations for hosting and configuring WordPress, no one article can cover all the scenarios in detail. Therefore I have purposefully kept this article short and concise, addressing only the broader level steps needed to make this move from WordPress multisite to single site.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-1-prepare-your-target-wordpress-installation-for-single-site\">Step 1: Prepare your target WordPress installation for single site<\/h2>\n<p>The first and the obvious thing is to prepare a fresh new installation of WordPress which is configured to serve a single site.<\/p>\n<p>Since moving from a WordPress multisite to single site is not trivial, you cannot just copy and paste your WordPress installation folder (or wp-content folder) to the new location and import-export database. We will do a plain vanilla installation of a single site WordPress on the target machine and do an import from multi-site later.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose a completely new database name here as it is not going to affect our import later. I would recommend the following tutorial and system configuration suggested by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalocean.com\/?refcode=931d5df50b74\">Digital Ocean<\/a> for setting up a new WordPress installation:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalocean.com\/community\/tutorials\/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04\">How To Install WordPress with Nginx on Ubuntu 14.04<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"section text-center\">\n<p>Sign up for Digital Ocean using the link below and get $10 in free credits for your new server powered with SSD<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"brand-button\" href=\"\/go\/digitalocean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">$10 free credits for Digital Ocean<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"step-2-complete-wordpress-installation-on-target-server\">Step 2: Complete WordPress Installation on target server<\/h2>\n<p>You should complete the WordPress installation on your new server by visiting the IP address of your remote server in browser. By doing so we will be able to setup WordPress on our server while still being able to access our old WordPress installation at original domain.<\/p>\n<p><code>http:\/\/your_server_ip<\/code><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-wrapper\">\n<figure style=\"width: 725px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superdevresources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wordpress-installation.png\" alt=\"Install WordPress\" width=\"735\" height=\"690\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Install WordPress on new server<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Go ahead and fill up site title, username and other details. Make sure to keep them same as your old WordPress site. You may change the password but keeping the same username is recommened. Don\u2019t use \u2018admin\u2019 as username.<\/p>\n<p>Once the setup is complete, log into your WordPress admin area of your new installation and delete the sample posts and pages that WordPress adds by default. Also change the <strong>permalink structure<\/strong> to match the permalink structure of your old WordPress installation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-3-install-themes-and-plugins-on-target-wordpress-setup\">Step 3: Install Themes and Plugins on target WordPress setup<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have WordPress installed and configured (by default) to serve only a single site on our target server, we need to bring over all the themes and plugins we had in our previous installation.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the number of plugins and themes you may have, you can choose to do this step by installing each plugin and theme fresh on the new setup or by simply copying the <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">wp-content\/themes<\/code> and <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">wp-content\/plugins<\/code> directories from your old multisite installation to new single site WordPress installation folder.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-4-export-your-site-data-from-multisite-wordpress-installation\">Step 4: Export your site data from multisite WordPress installation<\/h2>\n<p>After installing the necessary plugins and themes, next we need to export our posts, pages, comments, menus and other WordPress data from our previous installation. To do this, go to the admin area of your site in your multisite setup and find <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Tools-&gt;Export<\/code> in the admin menus towards the left. You should be presented with the following screen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-wrapper\">\n<figure style=\"width: 866px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superdevresources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/export-wordpress-multisite.png\" alt=\"Export WordPress data\" width=\"876\" height=\"454\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Export WordPress data from your site on multisite setup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Make sure to select \u201cAll content\u201d from the options and hit on \u201cDownload Export File\u201d. Save the exported XML file at a convenient location.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-5-import-your-site-data-in-target-wordpress-installation\">Step 5: Import your site data in target WordPress installation<\/h2>\n<p>Go back to your new WordPress setup and install the WordPress import module by going to <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Tools-&gt;Import<\/code> and selecting the WordPress option from the list as shown in screenclip below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-wrapper\">\n<figure style=\"width: 1063px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/superdevresources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/import-wordpress-multisite.png\" alt=\"Import WordPress data\" width=\"1073\" height=\"401\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Import WordPress data in new single site Setup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"image-caption\">Once WordPress Importer is installed choose <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Activate Plugin &amp; Run Importer<\/code> to begin importing. Choose the location of the XML file that we exported in the previous step and hit <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Upload file and import<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Once the upload is complete, WordPress will ask you to assign authors and configure whether to download and import file attachments or not. Select and map your default author and import any additional authors you may have on the blog. Also make sure to select the option to download and import file attachments. WordPress will begin the import and will also download images and other media from your old server once you hit on Submit. This may take a while depending on the number of posts.<\/p>\n<p>Once this step is done, go and verify that your posts, pages, comments, menus, media library and other WordPress data have been imported successfully in your new setup.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-6-configure-widgets-theme-options-and-plugins\">Step 6: Configure Widgets, Theme Options and plugins<\/h2>\n<p>A downside of doing the WordPress inbuilt export &amp; import is that Widgets, theme options and plugins settings are not imported automatically. And therefore we need to configure them back all over again.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this by recreating the widgets in sidebar and manually copying your theme options and plugin settings from your previous installation. Some of the plugins also provide an in-built export and import settings so do make use of them to make things faster.<\/p>\n<p>You may want to use this opportunity to evaluate the plugins installed with your WordPress setup and uninstall all those that are not needed anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to check all other WordPress settings such as <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Reading<\/code>, <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Writing<\/code> etc to match the previous installation. Also configure your imported menus at desired location.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-7-switch-domain-records\">Step 7: Switch domain records<\/h2>\n<p>Before doing this step, make sure that your new WordPress setup looks alright. If everything is fine then go ahead and update the <strong>WordPress Address (URL)<\/strong> and <strong>Site Address (URL)<\/strong> by going to <code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">Settings-&gt;General<\/code> to point to your domain. Once you save this, WordPress will refresh and try to open at your new domain. You must now point your DNS records to the new server.<\/p>\n<p>Go ahead and update the DNS records for your domain to point to the IP address of the new server. The changes in DNS records may take some time. Once they are live you would be able to access your site via the domain name instead of ip address.<\/p>\n<p>Note that now we no longer have access to our previous WordPress installation via the domain name, however if you want, you can configure a temporary subdomain to access it for sometime before deleting.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n<p>WordPress multisite installation is great in administering multiple WordPress sites in single installation. However, over time as individual sites grow, you may have the need to move out some of the sites onto separate server in an individual WordPress installation. In this post we saw how we can achieve this task by manually exporting and importing data of a site from a multisite WordPress installation to another new WordPress setup.<\/p>\n<p>Note that there also exist utilities like <a href=\"http:\/\/wp-cli.org\/\">WP-CLI<\/a> that can be used to automate some of the process mentioned above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For quite a while, I have been running a WordPress multisite installation mapped to different domains.
