# Migration Issues – Multisite

 * Hello,
 * Few issues with the migration tool in a multisite environment:
 * – No ability to migrate all sites
    – Final step trys to disable and remove the
   Block Lab plugin – Even if used by other sites! I have Block Lab network activated
   so this failed the permission check.
 * So I don’t really have a route forward, I’ve network activated the new plugin,
   and my templates are picked up by both plugins – but I can’t add anything new
   and have no way of seeing which sites are activated and which aren’t.
 * I’m left with opportunistically migrating sites, but with a few 1000 this is 
   going to be painful.
 * Please can you improve the migration tool to support multisite?

    Sorry,
   and thanks for your patience.

 * OK, does migration work for an individual site in the multisite?

 * Not saying that’s a good solution, just trying to see exactly what isn’t working.

 * They work individually, just errors at the last step when it tries to remove 
   blocklab.
 * What is the migration doing? Is it just changing the CPT or is it migrating more
   than that?

 * Ah, good to know.
 * The migration is [changing the block CPT](https://github.com/getblocklab/block-lab/blob/1ae868ed6edb6eca082b0ef5e9a1b3ce74ec86c9/php/admin/migration/class-post-type.php)
   and [changing the namespace](https://github.com/getblocklab/block-lab/blob/1ae868ed6edb6eca082b0ef5e9a1b3ce74ec86c9/php/admin/migration/class-post-content.php)
   of blocks in post_content from `block-lab/` to `genesis-custom-blocks/`

 * If I used a search and replace plugin could I achieve the same effect?

 * Hm, an earlier comment I made is held for moderation. That explains what the 
   migration does.

 * A search and replace might be enough for the `post_content` migration to the `
   genesis-custom-blocks/` namespace, but probably won’t migrate the block CPT.

 * This will migrate a single site’s CPTs and `post_content`, though I know it doesn’t
   help with multisite.
 *     ```
       wp shell
       ( new Block_Lab\Admin\Migration\Post_Content( 'block-lab', 'genesis-custom-blocks' ) )->migrate_all();
       ( new Block_Lab\Admin\Migration\Post_Type( 'block_lab', 'block-lab', 'block_lab', 'genesis_custom_block', 'genesis-custom-blocks', 'genesis_custom_blocks' ) )->migrate_all();
       ```
