   Hi. I have a WP 2.8.3 website that i built for a client, and i want to migrate this to WPMU 2.8.3. So that i can integrate BuddyPress + bbPress.
   The website in question is here http://www.creatingchaos.co.uk

   What steps do i need to do to take this step. First off, i will backup all the database, just in case. After that, im a little unsure.

   Thanks

   Liam

   You need to export the posts from your WP site, replace the WP site with WPMU, install and configure WPMU and then import the posts.

   Hopefully all your WP plugins will work as normal if you drop them in the plugins folder but there are a few out there that don't play well.

   If you have a lot of settings in the database you need to preserve, you could also do the direct db transfer.
