 * i was using wordpress mu with a plugin called “[multi-site manager](http://www.jerseyconnect.net/development/multisite-faq/)”
   so that i could manage and serve multiple blogs with different domain names via
   one wpmu install. All i had to do was point the new domain name or sub domain
   name to my wordpress install folder and it worked. I liked this setup because
   i could have a testing domain name (beta.site.com) and when it was time to push
   it live (to site.com), i simply updated the domain name via the multisite manager
   plugin and would run a link updater plugin so that my local images would show.
 * It worked perfectly until i upgraded from 2.9 to 3.0.1 The plugin still seems
   to work but i have lost some important functionality. Now, though everything 
   appears to look ok on the newly created site’s homepage, all my nav links to 
   pages/posts and log in links still navigate to the previous testing domain name…
   and if i was to try to login it would say that “No site defined on this host.”
 * So… what is the best fix (to avoid exporting the old site, importing the new 
   site, activating and configuring all plugins)?
 * is my multi-site manager plugin buggy for 3.0.1? should i switch over to the “
   WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin”? or should i be doing this whole process 
   differently?

 * multi-sites in the old terminology is now a network. that old plugin was not 
   a plain ol’ domain mapping plugin though you were using it as such. that plugin
   was for having another site that had user blogs under them.
 * So yeah – that plugin is old. You can try switching to this one:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-multi-network/)
 * or this one (which is what you wanted in the first place)
