For your base site, change the domain to your parent site’s domain and change the path to “/”. You’ll have to fix that manually, but it’s pretty easy. Using that technique, I discovered that the plugin’s search and replace wasn’t able to fix the wp_blogs table. Once copied, I went through the steps in the Codex to convert it to Multisite, and then my sub-sites showed up! That involves installing WordPress and the plugin locally, then using it to pull the database, plugins, themes, and images from the site to be copied. This is a paid plugin but it’s super handy. I decided to use WP Migrate DB Pro plugin with the Multisite add-on. In either case, it’s non-trivial, so I’m leaving the details for you to find elsewhere, but I’ll tell you what I did. If you’re migrating a Multisite from somewhere else, there are many ways to do this, ranging from using a plugin to doing it by hand. At this point, the site should be broken, i.e., home page not accessible (at least that’s what happened to me). Verify that it’s working, then go through the steps in the Codex to convert it to a Multisite.
If you’re starting from a clean install, go ahead and install WordPress in your development directory. Once your URLs are clean and simple, it’s time to set up WordPress. Install Your WordPress Site or Migrate it In Note, if you’re not using subdirectories for your sub sites (i.e., you’re using different domains for your sub-sites), you’ll need to enter all of those domains in your local hosts file. If your URLs include the port number and/or a subdirectory as shown in the first example above, see that article, then come back when that’s all done and totally working for a regular WordPress install.
#LOCAL INSTALL WORDPRESS MAMP HOW TO#
I wrote a whole article on how to get clean URLs on MAMP. So, the first step is to make your local URLs “clean” like this: mysite.local After a lot of struggling and research, I came to the conclusion that it’s basically not possible to set up WordPress Multisite on a local URL like this: 127.0.0.1:8888/
