Parking domains with multisite

  • I’m trying to park another domain on my existing WP network, is that possible? Not mapping domains, parking it, I want my network (and all of its sites) to be accessible by both domains.

    Yes, it’s possible, but it’s neither easy nor recommended.

    You would have to change all your URLs to be relative to pull that off.

    Thanks Mika! As always you have the answers ??
    I’m ok with relative URLs, I just don’t know what to do to make that happen. Interestingly I found no tutorials on this.

    The reason I was asking about this was that I have two domains and I wanted to have the ability to have different subdomains (sub-sites) for each of them. Is that possible by mapping domains?
    Again, thank you. Really appreciate your time.

    I’ll be publishing mine later this week or next week, after I give my presentation at WCSF about why doing this is bad ??

    Sure. There are a couple ways to do this. Easiest is to just map each domain and subdomain.

    example.com
    sub.example.com
    seconddomain.example.com -> MAPPED to seconddomain.com
    secondsub.example.com -> MAPPED to sub.seconddmain.com

    and so on ??

    This didn’t exactly work; the domain mapping works perfectly for the domain names but not for the subdomains (it loads the default page on the server). Is there any special configuration needed to make it work?
    Thanks for your ongoing help!
    Hey, your avatar is different ??

    (it loads the default page on the server)

    Then you added the subs wrong on your server.
