    Hello –

    Can you please advise the most efficient and effective way to move the site from http://www.mysite.com/directory/ to http://www.mysite.com? Thank you!

    You know what? Actually scratch that. I’m switching over from wp multivendor to regular. Is there anything that has to be done, or any kind of sequence so the license keys work on the new site?

    I’ve basically made a new site at the domain. Is there a way to transfer over or do I have to re-build it from scratch?

    Please review https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    Not quite sure what you are trying to do. If you already made a new site at the same domain, where is the old data?

    The old site and data are still there. I was advised that it would be better to not have the multivendor edition of WP, just the regular version, and have it moved to the main domain. So I’m wandering whats the best way to do that? I did already make a new site (not multi). Not a big deal to delete it if its better to do that.

    Ii think the simplest and cleanest would be to re-create all CPTs, categories and custom fields, export all listings of the old site using GD export and re-import after deleting the post IDs.

    Thanks

    You do not have any addresses for the listings. It works fine if you add an address.
    Thanks
