Can not link a multisite subdomain with a domain

  • Hello,

    I need some help, please.

    I installed a wordpress multisite in a folder (home/folder).

    I have 2 wp-multisite sites:
    – site-A (the main) ==> domain-A
    – site-B (subdomain) ==> domain-B

    I followed the install steps, but whatever I try, I can’t link the “domain-B” to the “site-B”: this domain show me the content of the “home/public_html” folder.

    I tryed to do the same thing by installing the multisite in the “home/public_html” folder, but then when I type the “domain B”, it show me the “site-A” (the content of the “home/public_html” folder again).

    The “Parked Domain” (“domain-B”) is linked automatically to the “public_html” folder.

    I don’t know if I made a mistake, or if the problem comes from something else.

    See if there is an option in your web control panel to restart apache.

    “I tried to do the same thing by installing the multisite in the “home/public_html” folder, “

    Yes, for Domain Mapping to work, WordPress must be installed in the root of your account (e.g. home/public_html/) or the root of a SubDomain (e.g. created in cPanel). Installing WordPress in a folder won’t work for domain mapping. Said another way, DNS has to take the URL directly to where WordPress is installed.

    “- site-A (the main) ==> domain-A”
    Not clear if you are trying to map the domain WordPress runs on. If so, Do Not. WordPress itself needs a “stable domain name to work on”. If you need to undo it, I cover how in my Domain Mapping Instructions. (You’d know; nothing works.)

    “Site ID: 2” — Forgive me if I’m saying something you understand, but so many people don’t…
    From /wp-admin/network/sites.php, if you hover over the Domain you want to map, and it shows this for the URL “https://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=6”, then you should put 6 in this field.

    On /wp-admin/network/sites.php, do you have a column titled “Mapping” and does the mapping you defined show?

    @ron: Just add text to /wp-admin/network/settings.php?page=dm_domains_admin, saying what number people should put in the field.

    “From /wp-admin/network/sites.php, if you hover over the Domain you want to map, and it shows this for the URL <b>https://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=<span style=”background:gold; color:red;”>6</span></b>, then you should put 6 in this field.”
