Domain not Mapping, Just Constantly Redirecting?

    10 years, 4 months ago

    I’m trying to map a domain (https://www.zurrieqfootballclub.info) to a site I created with WordPress MU (https://www.yourfootball.club/zurrieqfc), but I’m not having much luck. My hosting is with BlueHost and my domain is registered with GoDaddy, does this make things more complicated than having both at the same place?

    I tried to enter my domain and it was refused as being invalid (I registered it over 6 months ago) by the domain mapping plugin, so I turned off the health check option and it went through OK.

    Then I went to my Godaddy account and tried to enter my dedicated IP into the A host section, but it wouldn’t let me because I had already changed the nameservers to BlueHost 6 months ago, so I had to change the nameservers back to the GoDaddy ones and then it allowed me to enter the dedicated IP into the A Host section.

    Do I now change the nameservers back to BlueHost?

    What happens now is that when I type in my domain it just keeps trying to load it, I have tried it in Internet Explorer, FireFox & Google Chrome, Google Chrome gives me a different error from the others – This webpage has a redirect loop.

    BlueHost support won’t help me, but they never do and always give me the “it isn’t our problem” excuse before kicking me out of chat.

    I’m afraid I got this plugin mixed up with WordPress MU domain mapping that WPMU DEV provide (I type their plugin into Google and leads me straight to your plugin).

    I’ve since abandoned their plugin, but I’m having trouble mapping domains with your plugin.

    I have NO idea what I’m meant to do at my domain registrar’s end (GoDaddy). Do I just put my dedicated IP in and leave their nameservers? When I type in the dedicated IP there is a field that says ‘host’ do I leave that blank?

    Yes.

    Thank you.

    The problem was BlueHost point the dedicated IPs to the primary domain on the hosting account, I had to beg them to change the primary domain to the one I have installed my WordPress MU install on.

    Thanks for the help. ??
