Domain name masking

    I have a site residing on https://www.domain.com.au and need to forward https://www.domain.co.nz to the same site with URL masking. Unfortunately I wasn’t aware that with WordPress sites, only the index page shows with the masked URL and all subsequent pages are are shown with the base URL, in this instance https://www.domain.com.au.

    Does anyone have any solutions as to how I can set up https://www.domain.co.nz so that this is the URL that appears as the address for the entire site when accessed using this address? (Accessing the site from this region will eventually have geo-targetted content).

    Any advice appreciated!

    Setup the kiwi domain as an addon domain, with its own WordPress installation. Give it a copy of all the files. Use the plugin DUPLICATOR to copy the database with the relevant changes.

    Hi Ross.
    Thanks for your advice.
    This was my original plan but I was concerned about the impact that the duplicated content, headings etc may have on the search engine rankings of both the AUS and NZ site.
    There appears to be some conflicting points of view about duplicate content and SEO, however I prefer to err on the side of caution.

    It makes no difference to google if it sees the same content on two different domain names, as against seeing the same thing but coming from a shared database. Google can’t even see the difference.
