    To be able to use subdomains with your multisite network your WordPress has to be in the document root of your hosting account.

    In your case one workaround is to set your WordPress that’s in the subfolder (e.g. mydomain.com/mywp) to add sites in the network as subfolders (e.g. mydomain.com/mywp/site1), and then you can use a domain mapping plugin to map subdomains to that site. So you can map an URL like to mypage.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/mywp/site1, and people will be able to use the subdomain URL to access the site.

    Hope this helps.

    I don’t think you can map domains when WP is in a subfolder like that.

    I know you can if you install WP in mywp.mydomain.com though.
