Categories pointing towards subdomains.

  • Short of a seperate WP install which if it came to it I would do…is there a way to have my categories point to a subdomain and would that work with any of the existing hacks to exclude categories from the front page? Sort of a faked multiblog scenario?

  • Okay, just for clarity I want to understand what you are asking.

    Do you want to change your permalink structure so that your categorized posts would read something like this:

    /example.com/apples/red-round-fruit/

    Or do you want to create subdomain and have your categorized posts go to those like this:

    /apples.example.com/red-round-fruit/

    All can be controlled with very complex htaccess rewrites and redirects. But maybe some clarity on what you want will help us point you in the right direction.

    I want it to point to subdomains like I knit and I don’t neccessarily wish to inflict my yarn obsessions on the unwashed masses, so I wanted to do knitting.example.com and I had also planned on excluding those cats from the index page depending on my level of hair pulling. Thanks

    Bump for this ??
    I’m trying to do something similar…

    My vhost plugin might help you accomplish this. You’ll likely need to do a fair spot of tweaking, to get things just as you like, but it should work.
