installing prebuilt website to a network

melly

Hi, I want to install a prebuilt website to my subdirectory. I setup network and everything is ok but when I want to install a prebuilt website to subdirectory, it warns me :

Before installing a new pre-built website, it is recommended to clean up your WordPress database.

Important: This tool DOES NOT create backups.

• Deletes: Posts, custom posts, pages, menus, categories, comments, etc.
• Remains: Users and passwords, wp_options, files on your server.

Does it mean something can happen to main website? I dont want to lose it of course. Please help.

Thanks

Phil

Hello,
This is a standard message that shows every time you want to install a pre-built website.
If you want to install it in your subdirectory, this will not affect your main website.

But if you want to be safe, you can make a backup of your website using this plugin.
