Go to the backend of sub.domain.com, to Tools -Domain Mapping. Check the “primary domain” box.

Yippeeee. That was the missing ingredient.

Its now working

Thanks Andrea. Most appreciated!

Nicelyparked. That is why it is able to redirect at all, otherwise it would not be found.

Thanks for your responses. Love for this to be fixed.

Currently, when I access:
sub.com, I get redirected to https://www.domain.com/wp-signup.php?new=sub.com
– it should redirect to https://www.sub.com and show a wordpress site

https://www.sub.com – gets redirected to sub.domain.com – either a 302 or 301 redirect depending on the ticking of the “permanent redirect”
– and it shows the text “apache working correctly”
– it should show the wordpress site

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your insight!

To clarify:
– master site setup for subdomains
– ‘a’ records for the main site setup as wildcard *.domain.com
– add site so that it shows as sub.domain.com
– go to superadmin domains, and add in that sites id, and its proper domain name https://www.sub.com.
– then you can see on the superadmin sites, the subdomain, and its mapping to the proper domain name

???
Then you should be able to access https://www.sub.com directly?
and have the non www version sub.com redirect automatically to https://www.sub.com?
and access https://www.sub/wp-admin/

super admin ->domain mapping
option 5 – untick the “disable primary domain check”
