Domain Forwarding

    I have multiple wordpress sites under one host and that all works fine. When I forwarded a domain to one of the wordpress site directories the mobile layout suddenly stopped working. I’m using twentythirteen. On my phone the site loads like the desktop site when I go to the forwarded domain … when I use the hidden address, mywebsite.com/wordpressdirectory then the mobile site loads fine. Does anyone know why this is and how to resolve it? Thank you!

    Hi,

    Are you forwarding or redirecting the domain? In cases like these it’s best to do a redirect instead of a forward. Do do a redirect, you’ll need to go into your domain’s settings and create an aRecord for your current subdomain. Your host should be able to give you more assistance on this as should also your registrar if the domain is not registered with your host. Once you do that, you’ll need to tell WordPress what your site’s URL is. To do this, go to settings/general and enter the URL of the domain you’re trying to switch it to. See also the Codex which is linked in that screen for setting your URL to something different than your subdomain.

    I just tried changing the url in settings general and now my whole site stopped loading correctly! I don’t understand
