I was wondering how difficult it would be to merge all my blogs to a new site. You made it easy. I had trouble logging into the admin on the new site to install the search and replace plugin, so I found replace functions in MySQL that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your help.

Save your database and content files of the old domain, of course. 2. Install new Wordpress app via Netfirms Control Panel. 3. Install a clean fresh copy of your template theme into the wp-content/themes directory. 4. Open the phpmyadmin panel, choose the database of the NEW wordpress install, check all, choose 'drop' from the drop down menu, and hit 'yes'. You want to drop all their new tables and structure so you can import the old. Then choose SQL, in the browse box, locate your .sql database file your saved of the old domain. Hit ' Go ' and wait until all has been imported. 5. Now you're ready to exchange the new wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes files with the content files you saved of the old domain blog.The rest of the steps (starting with step 3) followed through nicely enough.

If it has a different name than the db you _had_ the old one make sure you change that as well. @Toni-Lynn ... it's a challenge with moving wp installations to be sure. but it should work if you edit the sql output before you upload it again to the new location, where you have installed the WP files and have created a DB in MyphpAdmin .
