Tech Merging different WP blogs in one ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Smart Fred · 07-23-2016, 12:57 AM

Hi guys,

Smelling the Playboy sinking, I've started a niche porn blog last year.
Then as I got success on it, I've started a second one on a different niche... and now, one year later I run three pornstars blogs which all three have pornstars categories on them.

I've set-up links between each sites categories but now that I have a lots of blog pages on these 3 blogs, I would like to create a new site merging all posts from the three sites.

I know there's a tool to create several blogs from one main, but in my case I need to do the opposite.

Is there any plug-in or method that will offer me to merge all the blog posts from several WP sites into a new one easily ?

And what would be the best method to update them after?

Thanks for your help.

You can export everything as a XML file from each blog, then using the import plugin you can then import everything (including media files) into the new one.
See Tools > Import/Export in your WP admin.

This is how it's done.

It may be quite harder than that if you used different plugins on each sites and what these are (not all plugins are compatible with WordPress multisite). It needs planning and some advanced knowledge to setup domain mapping without downtime.

Contact me if you need help doing it.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/ is a very useful plugin for widget importing. More plugins you can find here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/importer
