What about WordPress installed in a directory?

    HI,

    Love the idea of this plugin, but so far I failed to make it work. I browsed the threads of this forum, but I couldn’t find a solution to my problem, so I’m calling for help.

    WordPress is installed in a directory (say /wp to simplify) and I have Rewrite rules in the .htaccess located in the root directory to invisibly redirect visitors in the /wp directory.

    This means that myfirstdomain.com actually goes to myfirstdomain.com/wp only the /wp part is hidden –it only shows in the admin section: myfirstdomain.com/wp/wp-admin

    Now how would I implement a second domain name to also be redirected into /wp? Do I need to write the same rules? Actually I tried that and failed so there must be something more than just adding the same Rewrite rules with a different domain.

    As a bonus question, I’d like the second domain to go directly to a certain page, say myseconddomain.com/thispage. All other pages should use the first domain.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Ch,

    What happened when you added the second domain + same redirect rules from the primary domain? Have you got an error? A redirect loop?

    About your bonus question, you can do that by setting a base path for the additional domain in the plugin settings.

    Hi Gustavo,

    Thanks for the prompt reply!

    Actually, it works with the homepage (myseconddomain.com) and with all srcs, but all internal pages (myseconddomain.com/thatpage) return a 404. The first still domain works as expected.

    About the base path (/thispage), I tried that –and it redirects correctly to that page– but it returns the same 404 error.

    Okay, forget it, I’m stupid ??

    I missed one of the conditions in the Rewrite rules!

    So it works as advertized, that’s absolutely awesome, you’re the best!

    Thank a lot for your insanely quick support ??

    Best,
    Ch.
