Removing partial multisite status?

    Our first WP install last year at my church went well, partly because I’ve been doing web development 10+ years. The glitch was that I somehow set it up as multisite. Our backup plugin notices this and warns me that it may not function normally. I found several identical tutorials for changing to single site. Everything went well until I tried to log back into the Admin dashboard. It was non-functional because the tutorials recommended dropping the wp_site table. So I restored from the DB backup. In the process, my changes to wp-config disappeared. Back where I started.

    How do I tweak the standard multi-to-single steps for a site where the multi features were never used?

    Did you remember to remove the following line from your wp-config.php?

    /* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );

    Here’s what I did to that file:

    /* Multisite */
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', false );
define('MULTISITE', false);

    …and deleted the following lines …

    define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.tulsaunity.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);

    OK I tried this again, deleted everything in wp-config that might be multisite, and the site seems to be working fine. I’ll monitor it for several days before deciding whether to close this.

    Have *not* tried to delete any tables from the database. If not inhibiting functionality, that can wait.
