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?

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

  • 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 ;)

  • Couldn't make it work in single site neither, but nice concept behind, maybe workable with more brain-power.

  • -1 for the recommendation of using such an old plug-in. In my experience, using old plug-ins can lead to compatibility issues as well open up security holes. I recently had the "joy" of cleaning up a fairly new site full of old plug-ins (installed by the designer - who clearly was not a developer) that got hacked through vulnerabilities in two of them.
