Hi, I’ve read the docs and searched these forums to find various related topics, but none that address our specific need here…
How can I use the Updraft Plus Premium Migrate function to clone ONLY the main site (Site ID 1) of our multisite network at domain-x.com TO our development server multisite install at domain-y.net and REPLACE the current primary site there WITHOUT moving or disturbing ANY of the existing sub-sites at domains.domain-y.net?
To clarify, we want to clone the primary site on our live network domain-x.com and replace the current primary site on our dev install at domain-y.net but we do not want to disturb the current test subsites we have created at domain-y.net.
I must add that our database for the live site is massive on its own. Can I do this without migrating all the users from the live site at domain-x.com? I do also not want/need to clone all the blog posts and numerous SimplePress forum posts (our biggest db table).
So basically, I need to migrate one site from one multisite network at one domain INTO another at a different domain. Both networks already exist, and download/upload of backup sets is not an option so I’d like to use the Sent To and Receive From options…just looking for some clarity before risking any overwrite of our test subsites.
Thank you in advance for any direction!
Hi,
I’m afraid that this is not currently possible to achieve with UpdraftPlus.
UpdraftPlus can only restore a single sub-site (including the main site) of a network on the same network. It is no possible to migrate a single sub-site to another network.
Best Wishes,
