    For what it’s worth, it’s called multisite. It’s no longer called WPMU.

    Multisite will work in subfolders.

    what will not work in subfolders is the domain mapping plugin. It’s just how domain mapping works.

    If you have the index.php of the WP install in the root, then domain mapping will work.

    Otherwise – you might as well set up a separate multisite install for each domain you have.

    Hello Andrea

    Thank you very much for your help !
    I will try to puzzled it out with my friend of the admin sys and come back to you with a BIG THANK or eventually ask tiny more technical detail if he needs.

    The Domain Mapping plugin will not work when WP is installed in a subdirectory. But it is possible to modify the Domain Mapping plugin to make it work in a subdirectory. You would need to fork off the plugin and find a good WP developer to make it work the way you want.

    Hello,

    My developer team have worked out the issue with your tips, but seems that it doesn’t work.
    They come back to me saying that it is not possible to make the domain mapping pluggin work with subfolder, neither with subdomain.

    (I would accept to have subdomain rather than subfolders, even if this is less SEO friendly..)

    The solution I’m offered, is to have one WP install by domain name and then use the WPML plugin for each domain to do translation.

    I could accept this solution but it implies much more work on a day to day bases there after and less productivity..

    Do you agree that it is the only solution?
    Do you have any ideas to enable me working with various domain names and subfolder/or subdirectories from the same WP interface?

    Thank you in advance!

    Best regards
    Julien

    Hi Andrea,

    Just curious then, in the changelog here under 0.5 it mentions folder based installs…that’s not what this refers to then?

    thnx!

    That means if you have a Multisite install with subfolders (i.e. example.com/sitename) you can map that.

    Installing WP in example.com/wordpress/ and running it out of there so your sites are example.com/wordpress/sitename WILL NOT work for mapping.

    Hi Mika,

    Yes, just after I wrote that I realized what it must be referring to. Looks like he will have to go the sub-domain route, but am gonna do a little experimenting and test out Andrea’s suggestion as well.

    thnx!

    I would install in a sub domain (so at sub.example.com) and have my sites be sub folders (sub.domain.com/sitename). Then you can map seconddomain.com to those.
