    Greetings

    I’m under multi site with domaine maping

    so far things gone pretty well, I try to understand how this really work.. I currently try with 2 domaine

    domaine1.com is the mother network (where WP is installed)
    domaine2.com is a daughter site, on the nerwork, actually domaine2.domaine1.com mapped.

    it works well

    but I have hard time to understand what does primary refers to in the
    settings/domaine, when do I declare that a site is primary?

    at the moment on that page I have only the daughter site

    Site ID Domain Primary Edit Delete
    2 domaine2.com Yes

    I don’t see domaine1.com

    is that normal?

    if I want domaine3.com being a daugther site, will have I to set it to primary too? I don’t really think so

    I have tried to make my homework and shop around for answer, but I’m not even more confused

    Thank you in advance for your assistance

    You can map more than one domain to a site. Primary means FIRST or MAIN.

    Primary has priority. If the domain mapped is not the primary, then the URL is NOT rewritten.

    Thank you Andrea, you rock :::

    guess I understand, by default the first couple domaine/mapping to a given daugter site is primary and addition donaine that would point to the same daughter site would not be primary

    suppose we have mysite2.mysite.com

    I can map
    mysite2.com to point to mysite2.mysite.com as a primary
    and have mysite3.com to point to mysite2.mysite.com

    so mysite2.com and mysite3.com will point to the same ‘site’ but only mysite2.com will have url rewritten? I guess that then mysite3.com is just a forward and at the end the url will be mysite2.com, right?

    cheers
