Having http://site.com/category/xyz = http://xyz.site.com/

I would like to move the content from each category to its equivalent subdomain blog, so that when I will access http://site.com/new-post/, where the post belongs to category XYZ, site.com will do a 301 redirect to http://xyz.site.com/new-post/

So, is there any other way besides then the hardcore extracting data from database and move it to its new place?

I think its possible but needs serious custom code to accomplish this. I suggest to check wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags plugin code for a start. – Ünsal Korkmaz Jan 19 at 15:19
Have you had a look at the Move to Subsite plugin? It sounds perfect for what you want to achieve – bungeshea Jan 20 at 6:55
Are you sure WordPress Multisite isn't what you are looking for? You can easily achieve that in a multisite. – its_me Jan 21 at 8:51

It's very simple:

  1. download and install this plugin: WP-Universe

    WP-Universe creates a blog universe based on categories of a WordPress blog.

  2. go to Manage Category
  3. edit the category description with the category subdomain (check the install guide)
    http://cat-slug.example.com/
  4. now make your subdomains
et voilà

not stupid, maybe crazy ;) Stupid is very hard in the english words. – bueltge Jan 24 at 15:53
Nice little 4 years old gem! In my localhost multisite it is not working, maybe with a MS sub-domain set-up it'll need some .htaccess rules... No problem with Engrish, we can try to correct it, but your French is not good either ;) – brasofilo Jan 24 at 20:03
Couldn't make it work in single site neither, but nice concept behind, maybe workable with more brain-power. – brasofilo Jan 24 at 23:10
