Moving WordPress MU to Another Directory
December 3, 2008
Moving a WordPress MU installation to another directory requires changing a number of settings that cannot be done from the administrative panel, instead the directory information must be changed directly in several files. Before making the changes make sure to backup the WordPress MU installation. After these files have been changed, the WordPress directory can be moved to new location and run properly.
- Change the RewriteBase in the .htaccess file to the new directory.
- Change the $base in the wp-config.php file to the new directory.
- Change all references in WordPress MU's database to the new directory. These are located in wp_site and wp_blogs tables, as well the options table for each blog, which are numerical named starting with wp_1_options.
