A website I work on is currently running three different instances of WordPress blogs, all with their own set of users & permissions, plugins and themes.
Unforauntely, I don’t think WordPress Network is a viable option due to the restrictions around where sub-blogs can be in terms of urls.
Here are the url structures of each blog:
- sub.domain.com/blog-1 (lives in web_root/blog)
- sub.domain.com/folder/blog-2 (lives web_root/blog-2, being aliased to folder via Apache)
- sub.domain.com/blog-2 (lives in web_root/blog-2)
sub.domain.com is a Zend Framework website to complicate matters where all requests for files that don’t physically exists are being rewritten to sub.domain.com/index.php
Any thoughts on how I can consolidate these instances into one WordPress install? Thanks.
I am a huge fan of wordpress MU. There is no problem having separate user stores, and using separate plugins.
It will make updating WordPress software 3 times easier.
Export all of the blogs and then import them into one WordPress instance. The only strange one is sub.domain.com/folder/blog-2 but you can use the same apache mod_rewrite trick to redirect it to the lower folder.
