    Hi,
    I’ve been trying to set up a multisite structure with one site and 2 external blogs.
    The site has its own domain name but I would like to keep the .wordpress.com extension for the 2 blogs that I created externally.
    I managed to set up the multisite (sub-directory) and to map one blog (for beta testing…) but it automatically gets the site’s url as https://www.mydomain.fr/blog1
    How can I get it to recover its old blog1.wordpress.com url ? I can’t seem to find out how the domain mapping plugin works.
    I’m confused…

    Thanks for the help!

    i.

    You … can’t keep WordPress.com – That’s theirs.

    For some odd reason I couldn’t… First you have to pick a subdirectory url when you create a new blog, and when you import your old blog, it keeps the subdirectory url.
    I tried to change the url to the old .wordpress.com one, and when I went on the blog page, the “server couldn’t be found”…
    Plus, I realized my css edition parameters were gone !…

    WordPress.com is a private host. You can’t use their URLs on YOUR server, you can only use it on theirs. Put that aside for a second.

    First you have to pick a subdirectory url when you create a new blog, and when you import your old blog, it keeps the subdirectory url.

    Yes. This is 100% true. YOU are hosting WordPress now. ?? This is your server, your install of WP, your code.

    Plus, I realized my css edition parameters were gone !…

    I don’t know what that means…

    Ok… That makes sense.

    Well I reinstalled the whole thing and I’m not going to use the multisite option. Easier that way…
    Thanks anyway!
