I am trying to migrate single WP sites to WP multisite install on same server.
It is a subdomain setup.
Some of the db's have a different prefix.
How do i update the multisite core db to include all single site db data?
There is a membership site, and payment gateway too.
I use Notepad ++.
Do i need to edit the sql. file and just how do i migrate it to the new multisite db?
I am able to export the old db from the old single sites. Its all on the same server. I am able to import the old db into the new multisite db.
Please can you help?
Cheers

I have a website on a live server, it is a wordpress site. I got it to the live server by zipping the wordpress files, putting it in public_html cPanel and exporting the SQL database, then I created new database live server, imported the SQL database in and modified the wp_config file to reflect database name, user name and password.
My question is , if updating the site in the future how to do this. Would I need to overwrite all the wordpress files in public_html. Also what about the SQL database?
Thanks,
I built a WordPress website in localhost MAMP. Upon completing the site, I wanted to upload it to the actual hosting site using FTP. I uploaded all the content but DB. I used a WordPress plugin called 'WP Migrate' to export the database. Then I uploaded exported file to phpMyAdmin.
But the site did not work after uploading onto my site using FTP. I then begin to work again locally, using my local host. There is a feature to find & replace DB values in 'WP Migrate'. I replaced existing local site name with actual web site name. This stopped working my local website also.
I am not trying to figure the live site, but figure the local host site right now, that way I can perform a transfer. I believe it has to do with the DB somehow but not sure where or how to edit it.
Basically it is the same issue that this person is having as well, but the question wasn't answered: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undo-find-replace/

If it's after you updated your site name, you can easily change it back by logging into the myPhpAdmin of your local site and choosing the MySQL database you are using. under the wp_options table, you'll see a field called siteurl and home. Update those fields to what you had prior and it'll come back. ;)
I am moving a site from old godaddy hosting to new cpanel godaddy hosting. I have downloaded Wordpress files using ftp, and downloaded sql database file as well. When I go to my new hosting and try and import database I get this error...
x#1062 - Duplicate entry '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xEF\xBF\xBD\xEF\xBF\xBD' for key 'PRIMARY'
What am I doing wrong?
Perhaps this answer is not about your error in particular but I think it can help you.
I humbly recommend you the Duplicator plug-in when moving WordPress sites. This plug-in will create a package for you which contains all your WordPress files and DB. It will also create a php installation file that will help you reinstall everything in very simple steps.
I've never experienced any issues moving WordPress sites with this plugin. Here's the link if you wanna give it a try.

For the duplicate entry, if you have installed wordpress on the new panel then its because you have an administrator user with id 1 in the old database and in the new database as well that's why its showing duplicate entry.
The right thing for migration of wordress site is that you migrate it with 'All in one wp migration' plugin.
Manually move theme and plugins for time efficiency and export db with 'All in one wp migration' plugin.
I have an Ektron multi-site installation and would like to split one of the sites into a separate installation. Any ideas on how to do this?
I have made a new CMS400 website. But do not know how to export the data from the multi-site and import it to the new database e.g
Page Layouts
Smart Form Configurations
Library Content
HTML Content
Any Assets
And anything else I have left out that you think is important.
NOTE : Both websites are Ektron 8.6
Setup an esync relationship between the current database and a minsite install database, then use the esync function to do a manual sync of the folder for the site you want to copy.
I've successfully created site using Umbraco now its time to upload it on hosting server..
i've searched and got one paid product for the same..and i dont want to use it.
Has any body tried developing Umbraco site on local and then uploading it on server?
If yes then please help me doing that.
First I run the umbraco install from a local IIS website. Then I setup my visual studio solution for that website (and my souce control). Then I work, until I reach a beta version, then I go through this process for deploying:
Ftp over to the remove website and copy the whole website (I actually use Beyond compare).
Connect to my local database with management studio and create a .bak file.
Upload the .bak file to the database server.
Restore that database
Review connection strings in web.config
Then I'm pretty much done.
Once I'm "live" and have content I don't want to lose, when I want to work on the website, I bring back the live database through a .bak file, then I make my changes. They often include DB changes since the schema is basically in the database. I note all the operations I do. Once my changes are ready I manually replicate the changes on the live site as I update the files.
This is very painfull but I tried solutions like courrier and other things like that and they are not reliable enough for production I find. Manually is the only risk free way I see for the moment.
Hope this helps.
Yes, that happens all the time. Use FTP to copy your local installation to your webserver, modify the web.config to point to the correct database and your website should be up-and-running.
I'm sure there are more elegant solutions with less clicks but here's how I do it on azure websites with sql, not sure what hosting/db you're using:
1) Create an empty db on azure with the same login and user as my local db.
2) Create an empty site on azure connected to my db.
3) Download the publishing profile.
4) Upload the db the first time with Sql Azure Migration Wizard.
5) Import the publishing profile into and upload the site with WebMatrix.
6) Thereafter I deploy the site and db with WebMatrix.
WebMatrix uses WebDeploy or FTP, you can use WebDeploy through IIS if you like, and FTP.
