The concept for merging databases is fairly straight forward. The more complex aspect is merging the files directories for images, videos etc and then updating the database paths to the files.

I’m finding this a bit of a nightmare trying to merge my wedding video blog with my wifes wedding photography blog. Your post has helped make it somewhat simpler and I will give it ago as soon as I get my head around it.

Thanks for the speedy reply! The part that gives me difficulties is my low i.q…I will give it a try and get back to you with more questions, or if I’m succesful, to thank you again for your help. ;-)

Hey George,

It is relatively simple. With XAMPP your root folder is “htdocs” - which will show anything uploaded there, when you open “localhost/something” in your browser.

So, under htdocs I have created different subdirectories (could be anything but I did it in this way to keep track): /2011/ or /231/ or /25/ or /251/ etc. - and I put the content of the downloaded and unzipped version packages in the proper directory.

Edit the wp-config… i.e. follow the usual install routine for each.

Which is the part that gives you difficulties?

Moshu, can you tell me the steps in installing *other* Wordpress versions under Xampp? (You answered a query I posted in the Wordpress Forum, saying it could be done, but even with the innumerable posts showing how to install ONE version, I’m not sure just how to install other versions.

Thanks!
