Wordpress Multisite

[jk3us]

In trying to import a single site that is part of a wordpress multisite instance, I had to make 1 small change in the source. In my case, I wanted to import the site that had the database table prefix 3_ (the id of the site is 3), but since multisite installations share a common set of users, and they are stored in the unprefixed users table, I just had to remove the #{px} for the users table on line 144 of importers/wordpress.rb, and it seems to have worked well. Having a configuration option that could handle this case would be pretty nice.

--multisite?

Is that a command-line switch? I don't see that in any docs or in the code. How would that be used?

@jk3us I'm proposing it :) It'd do what you describe – use the specified table prefix except for the users table.

Ah, sounds good. You'd need a way to specify which site, I guess by numeric id. I think you can have the installation prefix in addition to the site prefix, e.g. wp_3_posts.

@jk3us Hm, ok. I've never used a multisite before. Is the table prefix shared between them? So you have prefix_num_table and a separate users table?

[jk3us]

Looks like it, here is the code that returns the database table prefix for a site. http://doc-wordpress.com/nav.html?wp-includes/wp-db.php.source.html#l727

I have opened a pull request that will allow you to import specific sites from 3.4.2
