Then browse through the table and look for a name that is similar to the name of your plugin. Once you've found it, copy that value to the "yy_options" table ("yy_" is the prefix for the site you are copying to). </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/2-blogs-same-appearance-different-databases#post-755 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 03:03:09 +0000 itsjeremy 755@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>I'm working on same thing. Do you have a screenshot of this "options" place you are referencing? Thanks. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/2-blogs-same-appearance-different-databases#post-732 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:36:19 +0000 gcarson 732@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the response. I realize I have no clue about tables, etc so I just manually copied almost all the options. But I figured there were others like me using wp-hive like me.. meaning, using the main wordpress install as a cms then having a 'blog' with another wordpress install. Both needed the same layout. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/2-blogs-same-appearance-different-databases#post-726 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:15:15 +0000 ikailo 726@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Yes, this could do it.</p> <p>If your theme has its own options, then you would have to manually synchronize them. More than likely there will be an entry in the 'options' table in the database for that theme, that will need to be copied to the options table of the new site.</p> <p>eg: wp_options.myThemeOptions --&gt; xx_options.myThemeOptions </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/2-blogs-same-appearance-different-databases#post-706 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:54:44 +0000 gcarson 706@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>I was thinking, is there a way to pull the header and footer from my original install so they remain the same? </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/2-blogs-same-appearance-different-databases#post-705 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:43:00 +0000 gcarson 705@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm using wordpress as more of a cms. Now I'm looking to add a 'blog' section to my site. I want the appearance to be exactly the same (same header and footer) but I need my post layout and widgets to be different. I think this plugin does this? But I can't figure out how to get the same appearance. When I load my custom theme, it shows on my 'blog' with the base options and none of my customizations. Does this plugin do what I'm looking for? </p>
