@mercime – do you happen to have any pointers on this question?

@mercime – hoping you can translate a message I am getting during the Network Setup, I want to make sure I don’t assume that’s it’s not a big deal:

“Because your install is not new, the sites in your WordPress network must use sub-domains. The main site in a sub-directory install will need to use a modified permalink structure, potentially breaking existing links.”

The part I’m confused about is the modified permalink structure portion. I’ve enabled “pretty permalinks” – i.e. “mysite.org/title-of-my-blog”. Does this mean the message won’t apply to me, or is it going to make another change to my permalink structure? Can you provide an example of what the URL will look like for other sites/blogs that I add to network?

Also, regarding the Network Title setting – how does this setting present itself downstream? Meaning, will other users see this value (URLs, etc.) or is it just a backend setting?

Many thanks!!!

The old back-up restore trick! Ok – that makes sense and is probably the route I’ll take. I don’t have an easy way to create a test environment without signing up for another hosting plan with my provider, hostingdude.com. Anyway – I appreciate the help, I’m off and running!

@mercime – Thank you! My Evolve theme is already active – it’s an existing site that has been up for 6 months. Am I still OK to proceed?

Just realized I posted this in the wrong group – I’ll ask the question in the correct one. Thanks.
