The only hassle I had was trying to create a blog called domain.tld/blog (yes, I’m using THAT structure). It didn’t like that at all; kept redirecting me to the “home” admin pages or throwing 404’s. Strange but true.

The other sites are remaining live whilst I ensure everything is working on a different domain. I found that leaving the _options table means I have minimal changes to make whilst not having Len’s troubles above.

Everything seems to be working perfectly: thanks for the tutorial. Just five more to go.

Thanks for letting me know, I was thinking the wp_user_roles table was just pre-populated info you were sure to have, so a struck that suggestion. Glad to see my blindness didn’t totally lead you astray

Based on your suggestions here, I am going to update this post and cover some of these finer details, so thanks a million for the feedback and keep it coming.

After a few hours of scratching my pentablet I took a look at the wp_67_options table and noticed that I hadn’t changed option_name wp_user_roles into wp_67_user_roles.
That did the trick, now I can login to the backend.

Another thing about the options: I had to manually add WPLANG and change the upload_path. So maybe there are more options that could cause trouble when importing a single blog into WPMU.

Check out the wp_67_user_roles within the wp_67_options table, this should have something like this in it:

That was a stupid suggestion on my part, sorry. I am still looking into this, let me know if you figure anything out.

Update: I guess this was related to lens’s issue, so see the image below on Flickr.

By the way, I had to add a row to wp_blog_versions with my blogid and database version (6124). Somehow it was not added when I created the blog.

I think the problem has something to do with users/roles/capabilities. When I try to edit the blog from the site admin (wpmu-blogs.php), I can add a user but the list with roles is empty.

By the way, I deleted wp_#_users and wp_#_usermeta because WPMU has its own tables for that. No effect, though.

Am I right that wp_# is really the relevant number of your blog in WPMu, for example wp_1, wp_2, wp_3, etc. It shouldn’t be wp_# for that is a generic symbol for that actual blog id number.

One question, are the domains for the two blogs the same?

If not you bneed to go into the wp-options table in the blog database and change option_id 1 and option_id 40 (these are tables) with the new address of your blog. For example, if your blog was http://myblog.com and is now http://home.myblog.com you need to change these values. Does this make sense?
