How to uninstall WordPress Multi-Site

Here are the instructions for uninstalling multi-site on WordPress 3.0+:

  1. Remove the constants from the wp-config.php file. (Should look similar to this if you used my plugin)
    • /* This site was made multi-site enabled by @link http://jgwebdevelopment.com */
    • define (‘MULTISITE’, ’1′);
    • define (‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
    • define (‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘localhost’);
    • define (‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/wp-multi/’);
    • define (‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
    • define (‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
    • $base = ‘/wp-multi/’;
  2. Delete the htaccess and let WP create a fresh single-site one.
    • You can have it create a new one by simply going to your permalink settings page and click save again.
  3. Remove the extra tables from the database. (The “wp_” will be replaced with whichever prefix you made during installation”)
    1. wp_blogs
    2. wp_blog_versions
    3. wp_registration_log
    4. wp_signups
    5. wp_site
    6. wp_sitemeta
  4. Remove the two extra fields added to the users table.
    1. spam
    2. deleted

!!!! If your Super Admin is Missing… READ THIS !!!!

In WordPress 3.1, the “Super Admin” bar has been taken away for Multi-Site Networks.

Now in WordPress 3.1, when you create a Multi-Site Network, a “Network Admin” dashboard is now created.

In the “Network Admin” dashboard you will:

  • Enable/disable Network Plugins.
  • Create, Edit, Delete child sites.
  • Edit Site-Wide and Network Settings.

There is no longer a mixture of blog Dashboards and Network Settings.

To find the new “Network Admin Dashboard”, just locate the new link in the upper right corner of all blog dashboards. This new link is located next to the “Logout” link. See the image below.

Multi-site Enabler Version 1.5 Released

An update for the Multi-Site Enabler plugin has been released.

Several users have had trouble with the creation of the proper htaccess file. This version provides a fix for this. Among several other enhancements and fixes:

  • Users can override the warnings and install Multi-site as subdomain or subfolder if needed.
  • Users who do not use the default wp-config-sample.php when setting up Mutli-Site had issues where the defines were not added to the wp-config file properly. This version fixes this issue.
  • Functionality has been started for disabling Multi-Site, due for release in v1.6. The ability to remove Mutli-Site will be released in version 2.0.

Hope everyone enjoys the updates and finds them useful!

Push Button Cash Site – Possible Scam

There is a empty dream product out there called the “Push Button Cash Site”. The product promises quick money to those who purchase. He appears to have had several customers because in his tutorial videos he has them use my Multi-Site Enabler Plugin to enable multi-site on their WordPress blogs. Some users are very new to the internet so setting up Multi-Site can be difficult even with the help of a plugin If you do not know how to manage a WordPress blog, hire a developer and/or do some research before entering the online money making market. There is not a push button solution to setting up a money making site. Do not fall for these internet scams.

Several of his customers have come to me and requested help with setting up his products. Some say a license is required while others wonder why my plugin doesn’t set up the content automatically for them. I DO NOT offer support for other peoples products nor do I recommend purchasing the Push Button Cash Site. My plugin is to be used at your own risk and offers zero support.

There is a public support forum that may be able to answer most questions. I check it a few times a week to help those that I can. Please search the forum before posting a new thread. Do not expect free help. And most importantly, DO NOT CALL ME OR EMAIL ME DIRECTLY unless it is direct relation to a current or future web project.

I wish you the best of luck in your online money making lives.

 

Edit: I found a link to several angry customer comments. Check it out if your still considering buying this product.
