Delete the master website

Hi everyone,

If I only need one of the wrap website I want to delete all the others because they are unnecessary. I can delete all of them fine, except the "Master" one, where I don't have the option. I can exclude it but not delete it.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but how can I get to delete it ? I've looked around the website settings and the management center, but I can't seem to find anything.

Thanks !

Hi Gaetan

Yes, DW does not like to get the master website deleted.

  1. Delete all other websites than the one you want (and master) - that leaves you 2 websites (master and the one to keep)
  2. Go to management center, database, SQL firehos
  3. Run this Query "DELETE FROM Paragraph WHERE ParagraphPageID IN(SELECT PageID FROM Page WHERE PageAreaID=1) " (Deletes all paragraphs from the master)
  4. Then run "DELETE FROM Page WHERE PageAreaID=1" (Deletes all pages from the master)
  5. Finally run "UPDATE Page SET PageAreaID=1" (Moves all your pages from the website you want to keep to the now empty master website)
  6. Run the frontend with ?refresh=yes
  7. Go to websites administration and delete the website you wanted to keep - it now has no pages and is not used for anything.

OK, weird approach, but it works...

Seems to have worked, thanks !

Although one thing to be careful is to copy the value of most columns in the Area table (especially [AreaItemId]), to keep all the settings.
