    Hi there

    Can you help me I want to do more with my Geo and so I find myself having to move it to a subdomain. I am assuming that I have to create a new WordPress site. Would you suggest that I delete it from my main word press site and will it upload again. If i do this as I cant use the other themes if i do this will I be able to use the other themes?

    I don’t have a great number of listings but before it got too big what are your thoughts?

    I am guessing you want to keep the current installation, but only want to move the directory?
    You can create a multisite, where the GD part is a sub-site of the main site, or create a whole new site.
    Every WP site can use a different theme.
    You would have to set up the new site’s custom post types and custom fields etc, exactly the same; then you can export the listings from the old site and import them into the new site.

    You can either copy/clone everything as explained at https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server

    or

    You would have to set up the new site’s custom post types and custom fields etc, exactly the same; then you can export the listings from the old site and import them into the new site.

    Be aware that two separate WP installations cannot share users.
    Multisites share users.

    Thanks

    Thank you for answering my question.

    I want to delete it from 1 site and use the same user licence on the other?
    is that possible because I only want it on one site I’m not a developer.

    thanks

    Yes, you can use the GD license for the new site.
    Thanks
