Multisite: Domains not Updated

    I am using Multisite to host two sites: a primary and a child. The child has an original URL of primary.com/child. I installed the domain mapping plugin, following support directions. However, after using child.com as my domain, the separate wordpress install for child.com appears, not the WordPress multisite version.

    Also, selecting “visit site” inside WordPress multisite displays primary.com/child instead of child.com. When visitors enter child.com they should be sent to primary.com/child. In other words, mapping child.com to the WordPress Multisite blog.

    A check of Network/Sites shows primary.com/child mapping to child.com.

    How do I get child.com to display the WordPress multisite subdirectory version, rather than the separate WordPress install? Am I missing a step?

    Did you point the domain child.com so that it loads the parent.com site?

    The DNS has to be changed to know that child.com points to parent.com and not itself.

    (This is OUTSIDE of WordPress BTW)

    I used the following redirect code in my .htaccess file to send visitors to my WordPress multisite blog, but the browser location bar displays parent.com/child rather than the olddomain.com.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.org$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Options +FollowSymLinks

# END WordPress

    How do I redirect olddomain.com to newdomain.org and keep the olddomain.com URL in the browser location bar?
