Subdomains that have almost same content as the domain

Possible yes.

No one has yet built that plugin though.

Thank you, I will try to do this.

Kerzzy – I would be interested in your solution. I have a similar situation – a main company domain that displays all/most of the content – and then each location has its own domain but only displays content specific to its location.

I’ve got a solution within StackOverFlow :

Yes, multisite is not what you need here. I would try to map all subdomains on the same wordpress install, and then customize the template via the current URL. In the wp-config.php you then use the current URL as base url:

define('WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

You can also do different themes per subdomain (see plugins for “theme switcher”).

After that I found the way to get the current subdomain into a variable :
$subdomain = array_shift((explode(".", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])));
Then you use it in your child theme or your own theme.

I hope it can help ^^

love your solution – having trouble with the conditional statement in my theme though, could you post a sample?

instead of language i need to deliver different tracking codes, logos etc based on subdomain.

Thanks in advance!

Hi builtbypeter,
you simply need to use it like this (example for a different logo in each sub/domain) :

$subdomain = array_shift((explode(".", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])));
if($subdomain == 'sub1'){ // https://sub1.domain.com/
  $image_url = '/img/logo1.png';
}elseif($subdomain == 'sub2'){
  $image_url = '/img/logo2.png';
}elseif($subdomain == 'domain'){ // https://domain.com/
  $image_url = '/img/main-logo.png';
}

echo '<img src="'.$image_url.'" alt="Logo" />;'

And you use it in your templates, or in functions.php using hooks.

I hope it answered your question ^^

Best regards,
Kerzzy

It definitely helps thank you, I actually like your syntax much more than mine —
———————–

if ( ‘test1.fmgsuite.com’ === $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] )
echo “G’Day buddy!
“;

———————–

Not sure if this is the correct route for me to take yet to achieve my end result, but the nuts and bolts are definitely in place now. Can’t thank you enough! Press on!

Kerzzy – what template and where would you plant that code?

Hi ekingstad,

Wherever you need it in your theme (in PHP), see Page Templates, or like explained in the example before, in functions.php with hooks :

$sub = array_shift((explode(".",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))); // Global var

/**
* Function to change the menu according to the subdomain
*/
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'my_primary_menu_args' );
function my_primary_menu_args( $args ) {
	global $sub;
	if($sub == 'www')
		$args['menu'] = 'Main menu'; // Created in Appearance > Menus
	else
		$args['menu'] = 'Secondary menu';
	}
	return $args;
}

Regards,
Kerzzy
