Did you ever get an answer to this?

I am having the same issue. Have you resolved your problem? how did you do it?

OMG – I think I finally got it.

So here are the steps I used and how I finally got it all set up.

1) I created my cPanel Hosting Account for the domain abcdomain.com

2) I then logged into that hosting account and FTP’d up the latest WP version.

3) I installed WP by going to the https://www.abcdomain.com URL during the install.

4) Once installed I added the following to the wp-config.php:
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

5) I then setup my network to use sub-directories.

6) Next I installed the Domain Mapping Plugin – using the instructions on the plugin website. Note, since I used sub-directories I did not need to setup a wildcard DNS entry.

7) Once I logged back into the admin it created the Mapping Tables and I configured the Super Admin > Domain Mapping with the IP of the site and checked off boxes 2 & 3.

8) Now with all that done I was able to setup my sites including setting up the parked domain in cpanel.

I did notice that when mapping a domain I set the https://www.domain.com as the primary one then I created a secondary domain with domain.com and did not check the primary box. What this does is allows me to go to https://www.domain.com or domain.com and have it redirect me to https://www.domain.com

Works Perfectly!!

Thanks Andrea for the help and insight!

During one of my installs I tried to use the https://www.abcdomain.com and then use the sub-domains for the network. That did not seem to work. If I do set up the site with the www. do I have to use sub-directories or can I use sub-domains for the network.

When it comes to domain mapping, does it really matter which is used (sub-domain or sub-directory)?

Well after deleting and recreating the account/site/networks and everything multiple times I finally got it to work…

However, I still would like to have my main website use the www. I am not sure how that can be done. Currently it just redirects the www. to the non-www. ie. https://www.abcdomain.com –> abcdomain.com

How could I get it to not keep redirecting it and still keep the rest of the site working?

OK I checked off the primary for the domain mapping of the new site. It still redirects me to the wp-signup page when I try to go to the abcdomain.com or https://www.abcdomain.com

Any ideas?

**Let me apologize for the long post, I just want to explain exactly where I am at and what I have done**

I am getting more confused on this as time keeps going.

Here is where I am at.

I have removed all the previous sites that I have setup. I removed the users associated with those site, and removed the parked domains from my cpanel server.

So at this point I only have the main domain setup.

I have the site only work to the domain.com and not https://www.domain.com. No matter what I try I am not able to figure out how to change the existing network from domain.com to https://www.domain.com.

I have the domain mapping set to the main domains dedicated IP address. I have the nameservers for the main domain set to my hosting servers nameservers.

Under Domain Options I have only 2,3 selected:
# Permanent redirect (better for your blogger’s pagerank)
# User domain mapping page

I also have registration disabled. Although I do not see anywhere in the wp-config.php file where I can set the NOBLOGREDIRECT per the admin instructions.

——————–

So to setup a site I have tried the following:

1) Super Admin > Sites: I have entered the site name (abc) the site title (ABC Demo) and the Admin Email ([email protected])

2) Super Admin > Domains: I enter the new sites site ID (2) and then the domain I want to map it to (abcdomain.com) I do not select the Primary, as I assume that means the primary site or my main domain. Which it is not.

3) cPanel > Parked Domains: I add the new sites domains (abcdomain.com) to the parked domains in cpanel – making sure that the nameservers for abcdomain.com are pointing to the hosting servers nameservers – just like my main domain. I even when into the domain registrar and added a www summary to redirect the https://www.domain.com to the IP of the main domain. (Note: did not work with or without this)

This should be all right??

If I go to abc.maindomain.com it works just fine.

Now when I go to the abcdomain.com or https://www.abcdomain.com it redirects me to the disabled registration page… Not sure why.

Then their is the issue of the user logins…

1) Super Admin > Users: I go to the new user that was created and edit that account. I make his an administrator (but not a super admin). I then set the password. Making him an admin also makes him an admin on the main domains site. When I login to the admin area, it takes me to the main domains admin dashboard. If I go back and change the user to “No Role for this Site” then when I login I am taken to the abc.maindomain.com admin dashboard.

<b>Problem</b>

1) Why is the domain mapping not working. What did I miss or screw up?

2) Why when I login to the new sites admin can I see all the plugins even those none are network activated, how can I only show the plugins I want, and not all of them.

Thanks for trying to help!

Gravity Forms, Google Analytics and XML Sitemap.

That’s why this is so strange…

Andrea thanks for the help.

I have an site setup with a user, when I go to the main domains login page and login as the user it takes me to that users domains and admin login page where it wants me to login again. When I try it just refreshs wanting me to login again.

The user is only apart of their accounts site, is not assigned to the main domains account. Could that be a problem? I did add them to the main site and it allowed me to login. Once I logged in it took me to my profile page. The under the dashboard link in the sidebar there was a link to My Site. It listed both the main domain and actual sub-account. When I click to go to the dashboard of the sub-account it took me to the admin login page for that domain, and would not let me login.

I am confused as to what is wrong, any idea?

I wonder if you all might be able to help me. I am trying to do something very similar to this.

I have both pages and posts. I am putting the page title under my navigation (in a different area than the default placement of the title for pages).

I have it just about working. There is not title on the home page which is correct. My two problems are:

1) I would like the blog page to Say Blog for the title.
2) I would like to have all the posts within the blog to have the page title Blog but not change the title of the actual blog post on the page.

Here is the code I have so far:

<?php if (is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
/*Do nothing*/
} elseif (is_category(‘1’)|| is_front_page() ) {
/*Do nothing*/
} else {
the_title();
} ?>

On the public site it takes me to blank pages. I image it has something to do with the htaccess but not sure.

Anyone got an answer to this?

I am sending the email through Outlook 2007 and gmail using plain text and none of the body text is being posted.

Anyone know what could be causing the body of the email message not to be imported into the post?

I have on a couple of sites I have seem with these features. And non have replied. Maybe it is fear of competition – even though I am not looking to set up a template type site like this owner.

I was just hoping that someone on the forums would be able to look at it and go ” Oh, yeah that is x, y, and z plugins.”
