[resolved] changing my IP address broke multisite feature (4 posts)

    I had multisite working with several sites as subdomains. I used the domain mapping plugin to map domains to them, and realized that I forgot to change to a dedicated IP to make this work properly on my host.

    Once the IP change propagated, the mapped sites work (as far as visiting them from a browser), but the multisite functionality is broken.

    By "broken" I mean that I cannot get to the sites or their admin panels using the subdomains, but my main site seems to be working fine. I also cannot create new sites. (and, yes, my wildcard DNS is in place)

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    The wildcard record in Apache will need to be updated as it's probably pointed at the other IP.

    Thanks, Andrea. I put in a request to my host for that. So, you don't think I did permanent damage, then?

    Resetting the wildcard DNS did the trick. Thanks!
