    Hi,
    I would like to map main site of my multi site installation. I found that is not possible as there is some validation in plugin code. I disabled the validation, so that now I can able to map main site too.

    It is working for now and I am not sure what will be the consequence of mapping main site, kindly describe why the plugin prevent from adding domain map to main site by default.

    Thank you
    Dipu Ratheesan

    You don’t Map the main domain, you will get redirection loops.

    You don’t Map the main domain, you should have your hosting provider change DNS so that new domain points to your WordPress installation.

    (Remember, for domain mapping to work, WordPress has to be in your account root, usually public_html/, or in the root of a subdomain. Wildcard DNS can not create virtual subdomains in a subfolder.)

    @george
    I found that this plugin is working based on table “wp_domain_mapping”. Redirection loop will happen or register page will display if the requested domain is not found in this table.

    Plugin it is not allowing to create entry with blog_id =1. I have disabled this validation and created an entry, then it works, that is I can able to map main domain as well(but hosted in different servers). But I am not sure what all the consequence can happen due to this practice.
