How Do I Convert a Multisite to a Single Site in WordPress?
WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that enables website and blog owners to create a website or blog from scratch, or to convert an existing website or blog into a WordPress site.
To convert a multisite to a single site, first identify the site’s root site. You can find this site by visiting the website’s address in your web browser, copying the address, and pasting it into the address bar of a browser window that is open to your WordPress site.
(If you are not already logged in to your WordPress site, you will need to log in first.).
Next, identify the site’s child sites by visiting each child site’s address in your web browser, copying the address, and pasting it into the address bar of a browser window that is open to your WordPress site. (If you are not already logged in to your WordPress site, you will need to log in first.)
Finally, identify the site’s root site’s folder in your WordPress site’s folder structure by visiting the site’s folder in your WordPress site’s folder structure and typing the word “wp-content” into the address bar of a browser window that is open to your WordPress site.)
Once you have identified the root site, child sites, and root site folder, you can begin the conversion process by following these steps:
1. In the wp-content folder of the root site, create a new folder called “single-site.”
2. In the single-site folder, create a new folder called “content.”
3. In the content folder, create a new folder called “posts.”
4. In the posts folder, create a new folder called “single-site-posts.”
5. In the single-site-posts folder, create a new folder called “site-specific.”
6. In the site-specific folder, create a new folder called “my-site.”
7. In the my-site folder, create a new file called “site-info.

singleSiteSettings();
}
