Need advice please on 'moving' SP to a sub-domain, Wordpress multi-site installation.

-- The move to a sub-domain was suggested in an SEO audit on our site

-- Our developer believes the best way to do this is via a WP multi-site install.

-- I imagine we'll need to re-install in the sub-domain -- what then? Table migration?

Thanks much.

wp multisite doesnt share users between network sites by default, so will have to accomplish that since each install of sp is unqiue... ie, the users will have to log into the network site (the subdomain)... logging into the main site wont get them access to the forum... and you wont be able to display forum info on the main either without custom code...

so you will have to move the users, the usermeta and all the sp forum data...  the forum data must have its users...  so you will essentially have two sites...
