Redirect Question

  • I have two domains, Domain A and Domain B.

    I have set Domain B to redirect to Domain A.
    I have ‘wild card’ turned on (Host Gator)
    I have installed wp on both Domain A and B.
    Domain B redirects to Domain A
    Whenever I type in www.DomainB.com/wp-admin it redirects me to DomainA.com/wp-admin
    I was told by a Host Gator rep that even with wild card on, I would not be redirected to Domain A when trying to login to Domain B as admin.

    How do I log into Domain B while it is redirecting to Domain A? Is this possible? Was the Host Gator rep wrong in saying it was possible, or am I suppose to do it differently?

    WordPress will redirect requests when they arrive to the URL in the Site URL and WordPress Address settings. So if your domain is set to www.domainb.com and someone arrives there via www.domaina.com then that is the expected behavior.

    What are you trying to log into? Why use domaina.com when your WordPress installation is set to domainb.com?

    I created Domain A in December and purchased Domain B this weekend.

    These sites I’m creating are more for me to learn how to build websites. I’m not using a WordPress redirect (how do I do that) but using my host (Host Gator) to redirect my domain.

    The issue is whenever I try to log into The WordPress admin log in on the redirected site (Domain B) I get redirected to Domain A’s WordPress log in. Is there any url I can use to go straight to the WordPress login of Domain B while it still redirects.

    This may not be the way people/businesses do it (redirecting new to old) but like I said, I’m trying to learn, and while it’s being redirected I want to be able to mess around behind the scenes before I stop the redirection of Domain B.
