    I’m in the process of learning multisite WP 5.2 beta. I’ve got a few URL’s in the system and I can access the sites and their dashboards (feels like real progress). But when I try to customize a template (for any of the sites)I get a “refused to connect” message.
    This is what my urls look like.. should the IP address be in each url?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Below is the URL that fails to bring up the template to customize:

    http://talkablesl-org.35.170.63.204.xip.io/wp-admin/customize.php?theme=twentysixteen&return=http%3A%2F%2Ftalkablesl-org.35.170.63.204.xip.io%2Fwp-admin%2Fthemes.php

    Thanks

    I started a new instance of Multisite WP – added two URLs. The first two (baseIP, one URL) allow me to edit their themes. The second website (third entry in the list) will not allow me to edit the theme… connection refused.

    Please help!

    The problem is with the Primary check box on the domain setup page. With the box checked it breaks the template editing…

    With it unchecked the site url does not reflect the main url “domain.com” but a long url with the IP Address.

    Any ideas?

    Problem solved.

    There are many install docs that advise to install a plugin (MU Domain) to configure the base domains. This is what screwed up my installation. I removed the domain plugin and just used the base install of multisite to configure the domains for each website.

    Hope this can help someone.

    WordPress Multisite Domain Mapping

    Before WordPress 4.5, domain mapping requires a domain mapping plugin like WordPress MU Domain Mapping.

    In WordPress 4.5+, domain mapping is a native feature.
