Issue with SSL on Additional Domains

    First and foremost, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude for creating the “Each Domain a Page” plugin. It has been an invaluable tool for my WordPress website, allowing me to allocate individual domains to each page seamlessly, enhancing the overall user experience.

    However, I have recently encountered an issue that I believe requires attention and assistance. Let me provide you with some context regarding the problem I am facing:

    Example domains :

    1. Primary Domain: first.com
    2. Additional Domain: second.com (linked to a specific page on first.com)

    When I use the additional domain, second.com, without SSL (HTTP), everything works flawlessly. The pages load correctly, and the content displays as intended. However, the challenge arises when I enable SSL (HTTPS) for the additional domain, accessing the page via https://www.second.com. At this point, I am unable to access the page as I could before, without SSL.

    I have thoroughly reviewed my SSL certificate installations and confirmed that everything is set up correctly. The primary domain, first.com, works perfectly with HTTPS, and there are no issues on that front.

    Considering the critical importance of SSL for securing communications and the growing demand for encrypted connections, it is essential that the “Each Domain a Page” plugin works seamlessly with HTTPS.

    I have already attempted various troubleshooting steps, including updating the site URLs, checking plugin settings, and reviewing the .htaccess file. Despite these efforts, I have not been able to resolve the SSL-related issue with the additional domains.

    I would like to kindly request your support in investigating and resolving this matter. It would be highly beneficial for users like myself who value both the functionality of your plugin and the security offered by SSL.

    Looking forward to your response and assistance.

    Hello @amujain22, thank you for contacting me.

    The plugin should definitely work with ssl, I use it myself with ssl without issues. Your ‘first’ domain is the domain you listed with your question I presume? Because I cannot access that domain over ssl, only https://. When I try https:// I get an apache error ‘The requested URL was not found on this server.’

    For each domain apache needs a virtual host listening to port :443, they should all point at the same folder, where your WordPress is installed, and use the correct certificate for that domain.

    Can you check this for me: when you switch off ‘each-domain-a-page’, can you access all the domains over https? (obviously they will all show the same homepage, not the one you assigned in my plugin)

    If you can not, there is a misconfiguration in Apache, if you can, switch back on my plugin please, and check the domains again. [Edit:] and let me know the exact error message please.

    Also: can you let me know what your second domain is, that you are using for this example / setup?

    Hope this helps looking for a solution, happy to troubleshoot the issue with you.

    Hello, @ruigehond thanks for taking the time to resolve my issue.
    The domain i have mentioned in the question is my second domain which i want to link to a post on my website. My primary domain is https://https://www.amantrran.com which is working fine. As you have mentioned my secondary domain is working fine over http but is showing error as i switch to https. i have used certbot for obtaining SSL for my secondary domain with auto-redirect to https configuration enabled.

    It would be a great pleasure if you could look again upon my issue with the above mentioned information. Also, i want to know if it’s possible to use this plugin with a domain something like “abc-weds-xyz” since i am planning to use your plugin for my wedding invitation website purpose.
    If yes, please guide me through the process to link a domain with hyphens in it, in case there is a different approach to follow.

    Thanks much.

    Hello @amujain22,

    It looks like you got it working, as far as the SSL issue is concerned: for both domains I can see a website over https://. The second domain shows the same page as the slug on the main domain. Am I correct in assuming there is no error anymore for the second domain?

    However, some images are missing on the second domain, notably in the buttons in the footer. I think these are fonts that are blocked due to cors errors. Can you check if the required lines are present in your .htaccess file (in the root of your WP installation)?

    # BEGIN ruigehond007
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<FilesMatch ".(eot|ttf|otf|woff|woff2)$">
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
# END ruigehond007

    Regarding your other question: I updated the plugin (to version 1.5.2) and made the documentation a little clearer on the settings page. For a domain with hyphens just use the domain, it works out of the box. So for domain abc-weds-xyz.com you use this slug: abc-weds-xyz-com

    For utf-8 / unicode domains, you need to use the punycode in the slug (this is also updated in 1.5.2, since WP does not allow utf-8 characters in the slugs anymore). You can convert a unicode domain to punycode online. Remember to NOT convert the extensions, only the domain name. I also added an example of it on the settings page.

    Let me know whether you get it working like it should,

    Kind regards, Joeri

    Dear @ruigehond

    I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my sincerest gratitude for your prompt and valuable assistance in resolving the SSL and domain slug issues with your plugin. Your guidance has been instrumental in getting everything up and running smoothly, and I am truly appreciative of your support.

    I can confirm that the SSL issue is now resolved, and both domains are working flawlessly over HTTPS. I am delighted to see that the second domain displays the intended page correctly, just as the slug on the main domain. Your expertise in addressing this concern has been invaluable, and I am thankful for the improved functionality.

    Regarding the missing elements on the second domain’s page, I’ve thoroughly investigated the matter. Upon careful examination, I realized that the elements causing the issue are, in fact, Elementor fonts blocked due to CORS errors. I have resolved this matter by enabling headers in my server configuration, and your suggestion to check the .htaccess file for the required lines has been of great help.

    Additionally, I appreciate your promptness in addressing my domain and slug question, and your explanation regarding the usage of hyphens and punycode for utf-8/unicode domains was highly informative.

    Once again, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional support. Your responsiveness and expertise have made a significant difference, and I am now confident in the seamless functioning of my website.

    Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to a successful collaboration in the future.
