I think it has something to do with the Media Module. I selected Local File System as I don’t have an account with Cloudfare or Amazon. And besides, I am just doing a test site.

PHP Version: 8.2.12
WP Version: 6.4.1
MySQL Version: 5.7.23

I have recently installed wp multisite on my domain, but I am having trouble with domain mapping. These are the steps I’ve taken:

1. I installed the maindomain.com on my Reseller package on WHM. So there is a separate cpanel for maindomain.com, but shared ip address.
2. I bought and installed a ssl certificate on maindomain.com.
3. On https://maindomain.com I installed WP multisite.
4. I wanted to use subdomains, but https would not work for them. I would have needed to buy a separate ssl certificate for each subdomain.
5. I changed the settings to subdirectories and the https was fine for all the subsites.
6. On WHM, I installed another domain name which I want to map to a subdirectory. It has its own cpanel and I have added ssl certificate. So https://maindomain.com/newdomain needs to map to https://newdomain.com.
7. I tried the no plugin method for mapping, but it did not worked for me.
8. I installed WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin as suggested by my web hosting support team. It installed on the main domain fine and I have the domain mapping tab in settings and tools.

All looks good. However, mapping is not working for me. Here are the problems:

1. On the subsite dashboard (tools>domain mapping) it only allows for http domain.
2. After reading your instructions, I think I made a mistake in using a shared ip address. I think I need to buy a dedicated IP address for maindomain.com. Is that right?
3. Is the newdomain.com okay on its own cpanel with shared ip address?
4. Will mapping for subdirectories work?
5. I am stumped with how to add new DNS settings for subdirectory.

Could you please guide me in what to do? Thanks heaps.
