Help Switching Over to MU from Wordpress SU (4 posts)

    I currently have a site setup at http://www.mba365.com with Deluxe Linux Hosting at Godaddy.

    I'm interested in migrating the site over to MU and have seen many posts on people having trouble setting up on Godaddy.

    I guess my main question is what is the easiest way to get all of my posts, themes, plugins, etc on the new Wordpress MU setup. And since I want the MU setup in my root folder, I imagine that i must delete the old wordpress site before installing the new MU? Hopefully someone can give me some words of wisdom as I'm a bit afraid to make the switch and delete my old site since i've put a bit of work into it.

    Thanks!

    If you already have a WordPress install, and you've already upgraded to 2.9, then I would suggest that you wait for version 3.0 where WordPress and WPMU codebases will have merged. And from there set up the multiple sites/blogs.

    If must do it now, here are some tutorials to help you migrate from WP to WPMU

    Do we have an ETA on WP 3.0? That will help my determination of which way to go.

    Doesn't matter which one you start with. They'll both wind up at the same place.
