switch multisite main site
-
Changing the domain name is fairly easy but swapping one site for another site as primary is right involved. As far as I know, there’s no plugin. It can be a perilous task… I have done it.
My advice would be to not do that… I use a dedicated domain name for my primary network site. With domain mapping built-in you can use a subdomain even as your primary… I like calling my network primaries as ‘NOC’ dot domain name now.
Anyway, here’s a StackExchange answer about that process if you wish to try it.
Read up on it well and do a backup first and consider may be using a new multisite instead, just changing the domain name instead, and/or migrating the site using the primary to a subsite instead.
If you want to change the primary domain of your WordPress multisite installation, there are 5 values to change. There is no need to perform a database dump. This is actually frowned upon, as WordPress stores serialized data in the database, and altering it can cause corruption
