using subdomains with all blogs at the third domain level?

  • I have set up multisite using subdomains (no wildcarding) at wordpress.example.com. I want subsequent blogs to be named, eg, blog1.example.com, blog2.example.com. Currently they’re being created as blog1.wordpress.example.com, blog2.wordpress.example.com, and so on. I’m pretty sure this can be done, just don’t know which setting to fiddle with. Suggestions?

    (and yes, it’s not literally example.com! ?? )

    Great, now can we get back to my (hopefully simpler) question? The point is not to use domain mapping to make blog1.wordpress.example.com appear as blog1.example.com; the point is to set up the existing 3.1 MU install so that *any new blogs created* appear under example.com.

    I did try to make that stand out for ya earlier. Sorry. I really hate topic poaching too!

    For the ORIGINAL question, starlingfeather, the EASIEST way is to MOVE your site. If you CANNOT do that, I would try to use domain mapping and see if you can map blog1.wordpress.example.com to blog1.example.com.

    Answer: Move WordPress.

    Seriously. That’s it. That’s how it has to work because WordPress MultSite does not understand the whole double folder move thing that SingleSite does (b/c it’s hellishly more complicated, not getting into that).
