   GOAL: To set a UNIQUE Domain to one of the subdomains/subdirectories within the Multisite Network.

   For example: Main Network site & 3 Multi-sites
   Main Network Site
   1. Mainsite.com
   Multisites
   1. Site1.mainsite.com
   2. site2.mainsite.com -->Goal:Change to Unique--> http://SITE2.COM
   3. site3.mainsite.com

   Questions:
   1. What are the steps to do implement a unique domain to the sub-domain or sub-directory?

   2. If this is possible, & you use Tracking code on the unique domain site, what's actually being tracked? The Entire Network site, or the Unique Domain site?

   3. If this is possible, how are pages/posts actually created within the Admin? Will you be creating pages such as:
   1. Uniquesite.com
   2. site2.mainsite.com/page1 site2.mainsite.com/post2

   Hello,

   1. You need http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/domain-mapping

   2. If you mean something like GA - then http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/google-analytics-for-wordpress-mu-sitewide-and-single-blog-solution is what you need.

   3. Not sure what you mean here :)

   Thanks Andrea & Venture Maker:

   So basically, if we use the concept of Domain Mapping then

   site2.mainsite.com -->Goal:Change to Unique--> http://SITE2.COM
   Then a person who comes to the site will see "site2.com" in their address bar?

   But what about registrations? Will the default to the subdomain/subdirectory or is it possible to register people through the "Mapped Domain" ?

   But will they see that same thing in the bottom address bar as well (ie: the left hand bottom of the screen that shows the URLs)?

   Either site2.com or both - site2.com and site2.mainsite.com
   At least, premium plugin offers these 2 options ;)

   If you mean creating blogs like xxxxx.site2.com where site2.com is the mapped domain name - I'm afaid, no.

   Actually, what i meant was if you have:

   mainsite.com =As the main site
   site2.mainsite.com == As the subdomain
   uniquesite2.com = As the unique domain mapped to site2.mainsite.com

   Whereas, if you were to set up a membership site, or for people to register to use "uniquesite2.com", then would the users end up having to go to a page to either 1.) Register or 2.) Lgoin at subdomain level (ie: site2.mainsite.com)
   ~ OR ~
   will these tools you mentioned allow users to register & login at the unique domain (ie: uniquesite2.com)

   Neither domain mapping plugin messes with the registration. by default, users woudl register at the main site - the original one.

   Ugylrobot *had* a plugin available for per-blog registration, but it's been removed.

   If it's in the repo, feel free to point it out to me.

   Hello Everyone:

   I set up a multi-site in a sub-domain config, but getting visitor stats from them through our CPanel and Google analytics was not working (and yes I tried every configuration that was suggested for this), so I have set up the sub-domains individually and now the stats are reporting.

   What I want to do use the domain mapping plugin to connect them to the main blog for administration. Is this possible?

   Thanks in advance for your help.
