I tried to map it to get it to appear on its own.. Is this even necessary for non-sub domain i.e. a separate site??

Think somewhere along wires have got crossed and I have massively messed up, now struggling to undo

I have tried moving; to no success

I have tried mapping at the current host and the closest I have now got is that upon typing my new domain address into a browser I am presented with the following:

https://pickwickpuppetclub.com/wp-signup.php?new=winedinerochester.com

i.e. some sort of landing page that appears to have a holding/ landing page for the new domain under its heirarchy; versus what I want is a completely new landing pages/ setup/ ability to edit for the new site.

I still cannot login to the new domains wordpress admin panel to access the dashboard for site2. Still returning the “cookies” statement upon attempting to log in.

Does this give any more clues as to what has happened with the multisite configuration?

I do not really want to get involved in a server package nor do I actually believe it should be necessary for hosting a number of sites; this is what the hosting package that I was using is supposed to be for. I have a non-entry level hosting package.

I have now resorted to the fact that I might move my site to a new hosting provider (to Gdaddy). Has anyone got good experience of them?

Is the process for moving wordpress to a different hosting provider straightforward?

Many thanks again

Not sure what wildcard dns is, nor can i find any host specific info on it to find it.

I have created the domain into the account pickwickpuppetclub.com is that what you mean?

Sorry if some of my questions seem a little amateur, its because I am completely new

Very helpful thanks.

I have done all of this now, had not before.

I am still not able to launch dashboard/ wp login for my additional site.

I am wondering whether this is because I may not have a fixed IP address with 1and1 on my current package. Would this cause these errors? Is a fixed IP required?

Thanks again for all the contributions, edging closer i feel!

Many thanks for kind help.

I have tried this and sadly to no avail.

It will not let me into the dashboard for the new site that I have added so I am unable to access the “Domain Mapping” for this site. If this is correct in my reading from above as to what you had proposed?

I can edit the site urls; and the settings for the new site and have done so accordingly.

I am still receiving the same error message with little more prospoect of gaining access to the dashboard of the new site (it throws me out and asks to login with the error message returned)

Grrr! I remain stumped!

Should I be “mapping domains” to enable multi site to work with separate domains i.e. not just sub domains?

I have also tried disabling all plugins and multiple login attempts as the quoted fixes for an apparent multisite login cookie error, however to no avail

A further note:

When redirected/ booted out of site1 and asked to login to site2 (not sure if this is normal procedure?); I do find myself under the site2.com/wp-login.php that I would want as an address so this at least is working.

I am reassured by this and that perhaps I might be close but without the ciger!?

PS, forgot to mention..

The primary site is https://pickwickpuppetclub.com

I am thus only currently able to edit this and am stuck to my one site.
The other site is site2.com; a separate domain entirely.

Very grateful for your help
