hi again
i was wondering if this can be done
it probably isnt good form
but
i wish to merge 2 wordpress sites
is that ever done
and can it be done easily
i want the posts and graphics etc to all be moved over and inserted into the other site
thanks

why do it hun? Two sites mean lots of links you can set up, plus offer one way link exchanges between other sites

I'm sure you can do it but its something I've never done as I like to have linking tools

youre right it does offer more linking options
just trying to organize things so the show listeners can find the show postings easier
having 3 different places is a bitch

i guess maybe i should go read the post again on dup. posts - maybe there is some way to automate a link between cross over shows or something

You go into TOOLS > export. This will give you an xml of all your posts, and then you go to the other blog, to TOOLS > IMPORT and you find that xml page you downloaded from the other, and use it as the import.

You may need to copy over the images from where it was saved in the exporting blog, but it is doable.

Though again, I'd agree with Tigs. [ he pays me 2 bottles of red per week, to say those four words ]

thanks GSM
you should wear a super hero cape of something!
as for the 2 bottles of red
wonder what i could get you to say for a case
LOL

so if i dont merge them
i could possibly just remove that category from showing on the main page
not sure how to do that but i am sure there is some sort of plugin i can find
and then create a page that has links to those shows?

do you think that makes more sense?

[Gaystoryman]

Always open to offers, depends on the brand, age, etc. but always willing to listen when a case of hooch is on the table

I already do what your asking, at least I think so. In my main WP site in my sig, I have several categories that are their own WP installs. In fact that site is about 7 wordpresses in one!

However on others I have I just use different sidebars for each category. That way each category has it's own sidebars with banners for that category, and room for many more links. Is that what your trying to do?

All categories are assigned an ID number by wordpress. All you would have to do is to add an 'exclude' snippet into where the php code says 'list categories'. Those arent the actual terms, but easy to find in your sidebar.php page .

That would then exclude any category you list.

Easy way to find the right code syntax is to use the 'page widget' and exclude a page. Then look at the source and you'll find the right syntax. As the page widget has that feature, right out of the box.

thank you - Bill can you show me a one of your 7 in 1 WP blogs?
GSM i think i may have to change my theme - which was custom built to do the widget thing
i am
afraid to say
WP challenged (alas-sigh)
but i think i can find the assigned number to each category - i believe it is just a right click on the category

hugs!

[Gaystoryman]

Before tossing your custom theme, check to make sure it isn't just a matter of them adding a few bits of PHP code to widgetize the sidebar. This can be done, but you would need to alter the sidebar code to allow for widgets, along with the functions.php, and possibly make the sidebar dynamic (not sure of that term) but it is possible.

As to the IDs, best bet is to get the plugin and then it'll simply show up in your admin section, when you click posts>categories. I'll try to dig that one up for you.

Sure, each one of these URL's is the same site, just different WP installs.
Crossdresser Playground!
Sissyboy Forced Feminization
CD's with CD's and TV's
Erotic Fetish Stories

You will see I left the top banner about the same, I just put in words for that category. However I did this before I knew how to change my sidebars.

If I had to do it again I'd just make my sidebars changeable, like what Gaystoryman is saying. You just need to use some code. I don't use the widgets when I do that, or plugins to do that. But I'm sure they are out there.
