Custom Post Types • Custom content types • Ex: Products, Listings Custom post types + taxonomies = CMS

Better Menu Management • Woo Custom Nav • Mix pages, categories, links • Exclude items • Re-order items • Multiple menus • Hierarchical menus

The Merge.

WP + MU = WP

Don’t be afraid.

Possible Situations • One WordPress site now, one site later • Many sites now (on an MU install), many sites later • Many sites now (on separate installs), many sites later • No WordPress sites now, but starting one later

What’s going to happen?

Probably nothing.

If you have one site: Nothing will change.

If you’re using MU: Nothing will happen.

Combining Individual Sites: Change a few ﬁles, import.

Settings > Network • Begin on the site you want to be the primary • Choose subdomains or subdirectories • Click Proceed • Upload generated ﬁles (ftp) • Import additional sites

Starting from scratch? Decide single vs. many during install process.

No fuss, no muss. (Check your plugins and themes.)
