I just called them and all they said was that they support wildcard subdomains and when I explained to them about Multisite, they don’t know what I’m talking about. All they said was that to set up wildcard I would need to do *.domain.com which I already knew and did.

You said, just setting it up that way with your host, it worked for you? Do you think I should give it a try? I just don’t want to have to start all over if it doesn’t work. I googled around but can’t seem to find anything regarding where that httpd.conf file is to edit.

update: I just called them back and I got another person (the one I usually talk to) and he said by setting up the wildcard, everything else is done automatically. So I don’t need to go through the steps to configure the httpd.conf file.

Oh I just noticed in the DNS zone that there’s a record already there for saanamsmind.com with the correct IP. and Type A.

Shall I leave it as is and just continue with step three of the set up?

Yes they do support wildcard. I had called them yesterday to confirm.

So all I need to do was the *.saanamsmind.com I just want to make sure so I don’t skip any step and mess it up again.

The reason I was doing this was because I wanted it to be a subdomain for poetry site instead of the subdirectory. Am I on the right track?

When wanting to choose subdomains, it’s a must to set up the Setting Wildcard Subdomains, right?

I did setup a *.saanamsmind.com but I’m not sure where to go to do this step:

# Apache must be configured to accept wildcards.

1. Open up the httpd.conf file or the include file containing the VHOST entry for your web account.
2. Add this line:

ServerAlias *.example.com

2.# In the DNS records on your server, add a wildcard subdomain that points to the main installation. It should look like:

A *.example.com

Oops..sorry..it’s just that it gets lost and then none replies. ?? I’ll keep that in mind.

I’ll change the manually created subdomains name so it doesn’t conflict with it.

thanks for the reply, will get working on it now.

ding ding ??

Will wait for your reply Andrea, before I do anything. Don’t want to lose anything even though I did backup everything and got exports of everything too.

Should I reinstall WP as a whole or just delete the stuff I did with MultiSite?

Ohh okie Andrea. Good to know! Thanks.

Should I uninstall the whole thing and re-install it without following any of the tutorial that I followed above? Or is there a way to fix this issue without uninstalling?

Plus the themes are still not showing up. But that happened when I upgraded to 3.0 not yet moving to Multi-site. Any ideas?

I password protect them through my cpanel of the host.

bumping. hope u guys can help me get this sorted out. pleaseeee.

bump!

Will just wait till either you tell me how to go about this now instead of attempting to fix it myself, which I’m sure will end up in a disaster. :/

I did export the posts from https://poetry.saanamsmind.com , the file is on my computer. However, when I went to import it to the current directory https://saanamsmind.com/poetry it only imported some of the posts and I got the error I posted above.

@andrea the previous tutorial actually made me install this plugin that you gave as well.
