I have a fairly large site that through the years I have been moving from its 90s design to the 21st century via Wordpress. It's content is broken as follows:
- 10,000+ static pages
- 2,000+ blog posts
- 2,000+ for a stand alone component of the site
The blog and the stand alone component have their own Wordpress databases.
Now I am moving the 10,000 static pages into another separate Wordpress database.
So the site is running 3 Wordpress databases.
My questions are:
1 - What are the advantages and disadvantages of having separate Wordpress for various components of a single site?
2 - Does it make sense to put together these 3 Wordpress databases into a single one?
Thanks for your insights

Hm. I'm not certain because of many unknowns. If your site has a lot of pageviews then it might be wise to keep them separate. The only real gain is in the upgrades to WP and the plugins - but these should only take 5-10 minutes per install whereas converting everything to a single WP install will likely take tens of hours.

Perhaps some benefit when it comes to integrating the content via various plugins and stuff like that?
What are your 10k static pages?

The static pages I'm currently moving them to Wordpress.
I was just thinking of the ease in terms of getting Related Posts for example from the other Wordpress databases we have. If there's a plugin that can give related posts across different WP installs, I'd love to hear it!
