I want to move all the blog posts from one wordpress installation to other, I know about the Import/Export option but that does not transfer images, I need to transfer the images.
Please ideas would be helpful
This answer from the Wordpress Forum outlines a good way to do this:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-blog-images-to-brand-new-wordpress-site-database
In short, all of your images live in wp-content/uploads. You'll need to combine the uploads folder from your old installation with the uploads folder in the new one, and then change the image URLs within the posts themselves.
It's a bit of a pain, and definitely would be a nice-to-have for them to include images in future versions of the import/export function.

We had an issue on our server which resulted in our entire 'wp-content' directory getting deleted.
We restored the themes, plugins and some of the images but we're now left with allot of broken images in the media library. We cannot re-upload and fix all of these broken images as the majority were generated from a feed which uses unique filenames etc..
Screenshot:
My question is simply, how do I quickly and easily remove all the broken images from the media library? They are obviously in the database and I just need to remove them.
If the files itself are still exist in the server with their original names in the time you uploaded them so you just need to generate again the thumbnails and there is a plugin called Regenerate Thumbnails that allow you to do it simply within a click.
If the files was restored without their original names, it will be actually impossible to recover them automatically because the system donesn't able to attach the uploaded files to the posts they was attached before.
You will have to delete all images that not linked to actual files and for now you will have to do it manullay because there is no plugin (at least not in WordPress repository) that offer this functionality. There is a plugin that called "Broken Images" that it's not updated for 2 years. I will not recommend to use it. I also searched for a plugin with some functionality but I didn't found and decided to develope it by myself. I'm going to release this plugin soon.
I'm trying to convert the theme from Drupal to Wordpress, I don't know a lot about drupal, so this function "drupal_get_private_key" confuses me a little and I can't really find a lot of documentation about it. Could someone explain me what is this function about and how could I do this in Wordpress?
Thank you for the help
Drupal uses this to generate the paths to files* (its used in other stuff too, but in themming I believe its the main reason).
*These files are the files created by users, not the files in the theme folder. The folders are configured in the admin and, when an user uploads a news picture, for example, it will be placed in the configured folder.
You problably just want to find another way to find these paths.
I have a custom PHP/MySQL e-commerce site at domain.com.
I have multiple Wordpress blogs that I would like to have the following URL structure:
domain.com/blog-one/
domain.com/blog-two/
domain.com/blog-three/
domain.com/blog-four/
Each of the these blogs are completely independent of the others. Each have their own theme, content, database, etc...
Is this possible?
Even if it is possible, am I asking for potential issues having these set up as sub-folders and not sub-domains?
Thanks
Brett
Why not use WPMU set to a folder structure? The ecommerce site can be the default 'blog' at the root and the other blogs would have the structure you want from above. Also you would have a mush easier time maintianing each since they would share the same base code, plugins, etc, while having separate themes and content for each one.

This should be fine. I currently have two Wordpress blogs in two different folders.
Yes yo can have multiple WordPress blogs on a single Domain.
Before install multiple WP review each answer posted by other. You can have better solution then installing multiple WP.
I have seen alot of information on migrating from wordpress Single User to Multi user but don't see any on migrating from MU to SU. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. I don't want to have to rebuild the sites manually.
Thanks
Do you mean automatically translate the WPMU sites into individual WP installations? I doubt anything exists. It would involve copying WP files, making necessary directories and creating configuration files, all the DB tables, dealing with the differences in DB and files from WP vs WPMU (image storage, plugins, etc)...
One solution, provided you have a handful of sites and not hundreds, can be to export the blog content via wp-admin > tools > export and importing back via wp-admin > tools > import once you have the new blog running. You will probably have to adjust the path for the images on the exporting XML files to agree with WP directory structure.
Yep, you just use the Export function. It's the easiest way, really.
No scripts exists that I know of, no posts either, because it's just like moving a blog off wordpress.com.
Except you can access the database if you need it.
my question is about Wordpress.
Is there a way to get access to the phrase, going after a single post?
"Enjoy this article
If you have enjoyed this article consider subscribing to our RSS Feed"
Thanks a lot)
In WordPress, content in your site that is not controlled in the Posts, Pages, Widgets or Links in the Administration area almost always will be found in the .php files in your theme.
So to find the test "Enjoy this article" you'll need to get familiar with editing theme files. It's likely that this text is in a file called index.php and/or single.php, though may be in other places also.
If your website resides in a folder called public_html, and wordpress is installed in a directory called blog, then your theme files will be at this path: public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/{theme_name}/. You will need to edit the index.php and/or single.php files at this path, where {theme_name} is the directory of your active theme.
Best of luck!
