 * Hello everyone,
 * I am having the weirest problem. I cannot redirect. Whatever I try. Which is:
 * – .htaccess add RewriteRule
    – .htaccess add redirect 301 – use plugin redirection(
   it says the redirect is ok, but it doesn’t work)
 * I want the domain name [http://www.professoradvice.com](http://www.professoradvice.com)
   to contain the subdirectory [http://www.timhupkes.com/profadvice](http://www.timhupkes.com/profadvice).
 * Anyone any tips..?

 * Maybe you need to remove a current redirection cause visiting : `https://www.
   timhupkes.com/` redirect me to `https://www.timhupkes.com/real-home`

 * [@sidati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidati/): thanks for your reply.
 * I have been searching and found that the redirect is in the database, but I haven’t
   been able to get in there. I’m wondering if I’m not making this way too complex(
   although all the ‘simple’ solutions just don’t work…)

 * Replacing `real-home` with `profadvice`, is that what you want ???

 * [@sidati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidati/): no, not really. 🙂
 * What I want, is following:
    [http://www.timhupkes.com](http://www.timhupkes.com)
   is my main website.
 * The sub-website [http://www.timhupkes.com/profadvice](http://www.timhupkes.com/profadvice)
   should get its own domain name: [http://www.professoradvice.com](http://www.professoradvice.com)
 * I have just now managed to get a little bit of movement in the site, but it was
   aweful, ha ha. I got professoradvice.com instead of [http://www.timhupkes.com](http://www.timhupkes.com),
   and then it said: “no, no, this can’t work: too many redirections!” (I think 
   someone is pulling my leg somewhere in the quantum field)

 * You need to have 2 seprate WordPress installations so you can point each domain
   to one of them, it seems like management problem more than a WordPress one :-/

 * There are multiple WP installations (4 to be exact: timhupkes.com, /profadvice.
   com, /shop, /ThemBeasties.com.) All seperate WP installations but on 1 website,
   so I thought I needed to redirect a sub website. I looked at the WP installation
   but don’t see an option to change a domain name there…
 * Even if this could work I’m stuck with a problem. To make things easier for visitors
   there are 2 domain names I want to direct to this sub website. Even if I could
   change the name of the domain in my WP installations, it would still not allow
   me to add 2.

 * Sorry things does’t work like that, first of all you need a server (VPS are great)
   to host all your 4 websites about having 2 domains for one website “technically”
   yes you can do it, Practically google will consider your websites as duplicated
   content and that’s a bad news.
