   Hi,

   I have a main site http://www.adetaylor.co.uk and have now set up some subdomains through WP newtork sites as http://www.subsite.adetaylor.co.uk.

   I now want to map some other domains to these sub sites so they use the new domain rather than the subdomain of my main WP blog.

   I thought I'd cracked it. I've registered the domains, got my host to add them as proaliases and then set up domain mapping in WP. I then went to the root of the new domain and bingo, it it mapped nicely. The only problem is when I then click on a link and it goes back to the sub domain, not the new domain. I was so close, so close!

   Any ideas guys?

   My test sub-site is: http://www.prototype.adetaylor.co.uk
   and I'm trying to map http://www.mango-consulting.co.uk/ to it.

   Thanks in advance.

   Are you using a plugin?

   I recommend this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/

   And this tutorial: http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/

   I was actually using Otto's plugin - I should have mentioned,

   I've actually solved it. I hadn't placed the domain_mapping.php in the right place as every time I did it brought the site down previously. What I hadn't spotted was that I had copied it an not moved it - when it was in two places it didn't work. when it was in the wrong place the redirects didn't work... we're all good now though.

   Cheers

   Ade

   Hi,

   I have set up WordPress Multisite and been using domain mapping plugin. Please visit my site: http://www.studyguide.com.vn

   I have done exactly the same as tutorial in http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/

   However, when I clicked on the mapped domain, It said: "Apache is functioning normally". I have parked the new domain to my host already but the situation remained unchanged.

   Please kindly advise me.

   Thank you
