- In this video, I'm going to show you How to Uninstall WordPress Multisite. This is an Advanced WordPress Tutorial. It's recommended that you take a full backup of your website, both your database and files. You should use your favorite WordPress Backup Plugin or you can use Filezilla and PHPMyAdmin.
If you saw the video I created a couple of months ago on How to Install WordPress Multisite, you might have tried out the Advanced Version of WordPress and decided it's not for you.
Here's the first video on How To Install WordPress Multisite:
• How To Setup WordPress...
That's why I created this video where I demonstrate how to properly Uninstall WordPress Multisite and Revert your WordPress Installation to a Single Site Install.
While this video is geared towards the Advanced WordPress User, this can also be a WordPress for Beginners Tutorial.
There are a few steps in the video and I recommend pausing the video when needed and also re-watching it if necessary.
Here are the Steps to Uninstall WordPress Multisite:
1. Take a Complete Backup
2. Deactivate all your Plugins
3. Log into your Control Panel and go to the File Manager.
4. Locate your wp-config.php file
5. Delete the Multisite code in your wp-config.php file then save the file.
6. Then go to your .htaccess file
Delete the Multisite code and replace with the single site code then save.
7. Go to PHPMyAdmin
8. Delete the 6 database tables associated with WordPress Multisite.
And that's how you Uninstall WordPress Multisite. Hopefully you found this video tutorial.

You just saved me so many more hours of frustration in trying to migrate my main site which was stuck in a multisite version! This worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this useful content.
Here is the default code for that file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Thank you so much.. exactly what I needed
Thanks so Much
For everyone that is looking for the .htaccess replacement text:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Thanks for sharing with everyone.

Goldstar for this guy. Very very useful
Oh man, you saved me from a bad decision back in the days. Although your video is 3 years old still kicks butt! Thank you so much for this video, since I can't give you a huge hug ... here is a virtual one < :( >
Thank you again, great tutorial
Semper Fi
Man you are super awesome I was looking for this solution the whole day just keep it up you are awesome
How can i press that like button 1000 TIMES......THANKS SO MUCH
great tutorial, did the job!
Great tutorial, straight to the point.
Thank you, that did work eventually. A bit of feedback to improve videos like this in the future would be to make it clear where spaces are within the code you've written. I tried it a few times and got error messages because I didn't get the spacing in the code right. As a beginner it's not obvious.
Thanks Thomas, I sometimes forget to slow it down and make sure I fully explain each step. I appreciate the feedback. You're a beginner coder and I'm still a beginner video RUclipsr (wait, don't I have over 250 videos?) I'm always learning and trust me, I've made so many mistakes in my first 200 videos. Let me know if there's anything else I should clarify. Thanks again.
Hi, I think I could have done something like this because my website disappeared!! Could you help me?tksss

i followed these steps and now i cant access my wp-admin site and it says 500 error?
Did you double check your htaccess file? Also try reopening your browser or a new browser
@@PixemWeb yes, now i have to pay hostgator $25 because the backup i done was on a plugin on wordpress and now i can't access the wp-admin site to back it up.
thanks bro
Thank you, Really helpful !
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
worked like wonder. Thank you so much
Awesome, glad it helped.
The tutorial itself is very good but only for a basic uninstall because for example I have 2 sites inside a multisite one that I need to split into 2 different domains/databases/files and that's not so easy.. Do you have some advise please?
First thing first, take a full backup of your database and files. There are a few ways to extract a site. It's kind of a lot to explain in a comment but the easiest way would be to go to the sub site admin area, go to tools and export an XML file which should contain all your content. Note, this is only for the content and doesn't include the theme or plugins used. From there you can go to the network admin area and disable the sub site. Then go to your hosting control panel and start the process of creating a WordPress Website. Map the domain name to your hosting and then once WordPress is installed and your domain is pointing to your new host account, then log into the new WordPress website and import the content. Then you will need to manually install the theme and plugins used. There are more advanced ways to do this with varying degrees of difficulties. I'll look to create a video on various ways to do this.
Great video!
I have a problem..
I have uninstalled multisight, I have re-installed it to choose subdomain instead of directory, but it does not allow any choice between this two possibilities as it already results as subdomain.
Any suggestions?
tnx!
Thanks for watching the video, the way to get a subdomain option for Multisite when you already have a WordPress Installation is to change one line of code in your wp-config.php file.
Be very careful when doing this and make sure to take a full backup of your database and files first just in case.
*In the wp-config.php file, make sure you have this line of code:*
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
*In the wp-config.php file, find this line:*
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
*And change it to this:*
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
You're basically just swapping the false to true which means you want a subdomain multisite installation.
Then login to your website and in the network setup, take the .htaccess code and paste it in your .htaccess file in the root of your website which is typically public_html.
Again, backups are important.
*You Might Need the next step but first try the above without doing this next step*
You may also need to set up a *Wild Card Subdomain* in your control panel. To do this, in your control panel of your hosting account, locate the *Domains Section* and click Subdomains, then create a subdomain with just an astericks symbol which would be in front of your domain name, then click create.
Let me know how it goes.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU SIR YOU HAVE SAVED ME.
I have a Wordpress multisite setup on my account. Rather than just making the Multisite into a single install, is it possible to migrate each site to individual stand alone sites?
Could you give me a hint, on how to access my subdirectory's files? (i have set up the network but i cant see my subdirectory's files in the ftp)
Very much appreciated
Glad you found it helpful.
I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error and don't know what I could have done wrong as I know nothing about coding etc.
Most likely you’re htaccess file. Make a backup of it and download it. Then make sure the syntax looks just like the video. If you can’t get it to work, then maybe restore from a full backup if you have one. If you don’t have a backup, then download your database and all your files. Then delete the htaccess file from your server. You should then be able to see your site. Login to your admin area and set your permalinks again to recreate your htaccess file. Double check your wp-config file as well
how did you solve the issue
am in the same problem
olamidearibisala hi, it’s most likely a syntax error. What you can do is take a backup of the htaccess file and store it in a different location on your computer. And then delete the htaccess file from your web server. Then, you should be ok. Then log into your site, go to the settings and permalinks and set your permalinks again. It’ll recreate your htaccess with a standard file. Then double check any plugins that might also need to have code in the file.
Hi! I just followed your steps to convert from multisite to single site. I need help- when I went back to my site (5:15 in the video) I was logged out and cannot log back in. I'm seeing a "500 - Internal Server Error" (on both the site URL and the URL/wp-admin. Is there something I need to do from my hosting site (SiteGround)? Your assistance is much appreciated! I have backups. (I am a beginner and after reading the comments below, I may have left out spaces in the code like @Thomas Kee mentioned. Can you please provide the lines of code so I can copy/paste?)
thank you sir !
I’m glad it helped. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Gracias, me funciono a la perfeccion. Ahora que desinstale puedo volver a instalar el multi servicio? Lo que pasa es que lo habia instalado mal, con opcion de sub dominio y yo necesito por directorios
Si, Sigue las siguientes direcciones, en el medio del articulo encontraras los snippets de code 👉🏻 www.pixemweb.com/blog/how-to-setup-wordpress-multisite/
For everyone that is looking for their database name:
Go to your wp-config.php file, click edit. Scroll down untill you find:
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'THIS IS YOUR DATABASE NAME);
Thanks for sharing the snippet with everyone. I've done that before but found sometimes copying and pasting from the browser can potentially cause issues. But again, thanks. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas on videos I should create.
i thought this video is about extracting websites from multi to single wordpress
thxn for the video :-)
No problem, thanks for watching.
Hi am turning my website into a subscription services. I made my website into a multi site website, with the idea to create a subsite for the subscriptions and members area.
I would like your thoughts on whether i should keep my site into multisite or change it back to a regular wordpress installation. Would it be easier for me to control members in a single site or multi site?
It depends on the type of functionality you want.
Will you be looking to let your members have their own subsite of your website where they can add their content but have it as if it's their own website where they can purchase upgrades from you like custom URL, Managed Hosting and no Ads ( Some People use Multisite as a way to give people their own website with different styling based on themes and on free version, ads placed to help generate revenue). Upgrades can be sold where you offer a service like Automattic.
Or is it going to be a general membership based website where people can view content based on membership level? Often, a membership based website is best on a single installation.
Caveat, when I build *Real Estate Websites for Agencies*, I have the main website for the agency and the subsites are for the agents and brokers. But the main website has search capabilities that can feature all listings of each subsite.
Thank You for the reply!
I think i am gonna go with the single installation. The membership is for the customers upgrade or downgrade their plan of services (like emails, hosting, websites etc.) and to see when the payments must be paid. These services are not necessarily in my hosting account.
I tried reverting back to my site and it says file not found
Which file? The htaccess or the config?
My wp admin site
Merci
I got this error after following your guide :)
Database tables are missing. This means that MySQL is not running, WordPress was not installed properly, or someone deleted wp_site. You really should look at your database now.
What do I do now? Read the bug report page. Some of the guidelines there may help you figure out what went wrong. If you’re still stuck with this message, then check that your database contains the following tables:
wp_users
wp_usermeta
wp_blogs
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_sitemeta
wp_registration_log
wp_blog_versions
+PremiumLeo I would revert to a backup. Make sure your database tables are correct. You should have 12 tables or more depending on any plugins. I would then look to see what caused it. The steps in the video I've done many times without issue.
Yea, luckily I made a clone of the instance and reconnected the DNS immediately to the new clone. This site has been around since 2011, so it would have been a complete shame to lose everything.
Will retry your method again.
+PremiumLeo backups and clones are a life saver. What type of hosting are you on?
Cloudways.com, using the google cloud for hosting.
@@PixemWeb Did you find a solution that works? I'm getting a similar error when I follow this method
Большое спасибо из России.
Why would anyone want to do that ?
nonsense didnt work
Good info, thank you
