Title: domain mapping Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # domain mapping * Resolved [Supportus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmyth/) * (@mrmyth) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/) * I have a multisite installation. * I have another domain mapped and it works fine. * I have the multisite plugin installed and I added the new domain and assigned it to site number 5. I added an [@record](https://wordpress.org/support/users/record/) on GoDaddy where the new domain is hosted and it’s pointing to the IP address provided in the domain mapping plugin page. * For some reason it is still not mapping. I’m missing something but I can’t think of what it is. Any idea?

It’s at eraeducationproject.com * It is hosted with Hostgator and the domain is registered at Godaddy * I already have a subdomain called erauniversity.eraeducationproject.com and I mapped another domain that is registered at Godaddy to it, erauniversity.com * It has been working just fine. * Now I made another site, equalmeansequal.eraeducationproject.com and I registered another domain at Godaddy, equalmeansequal.com * I did, what I think is the same thing I did for erauniversity.com, I kept the nameservers the same and changed the A record to point to the same IP address indicated on the domain mapping server IP address. * I mapped the equalmeansequal.com to the site number of equalmeansequal.eraeducationproject. com * It has never resolved. equalmeansequal.com just showed me a page with links. I just tried re-doing the whole thing. I looked the domain up on whatsmydns.net and it says the right ip. * Any idea what I might be doing wrong this time? * [Rod Whiteley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rod-whiteley/) * (@rod-whiteley) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/#post-4250608) * [http://equalmeansequal.com/](http://equalmeansequal.com/) works for me. Perhaps re-doing the whole thing made it work after a while. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/#post-4250616) * It may be DNS propogation. Sometimes it takes 72 hours. That’s the absolute max, BTW. Normally it’s an hour. * Huh. ONE wifi I used worked, one did not. DNS for sure. * Thread Starter [Supportus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmyth/) * (@mrmyth) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/#post-4250617) * Thanks for helping me out. I’m still not seeing it, but I’ll wait it out. * Are you seeing a wordpress site when you go to equalmeansequal.com? I’m seeing a site that has equalmeansequal related advertising links on it. * I took a screenshot [http://eraeducationproject.com/images/siteshot.jpg](http://eraeducationproject.com/images/siteshot.jpg) * Thread Starter [Supportus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmyth/) * (@mrmyth) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/#post-4250631) * Can you check this once again? It’s been about two days and it is still not looking right.

Perhaps you didn’t park the domain on the server? * Thread Starter [Supportus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmyth/) * (@mrmyth) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/#post-4250645) * Thanks Ipstenu. I think that may very well be the case. I have to park equalmeansequal. com on top of eraeducationproject.com * I see that I have done that with the other ones I have and not this one. * I’ve just done it. It is still not working, but it may have to propagate. I’ll reply back to let you know if it worked. * Thread Starter [Supportus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmyth/) * (@mrmyth) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/domain-mapping-35/#post-4250647) * That was the answer! Apparently in this scenario you have to go into the host panel of and park the domain on top of the top level domain. * I must have done that with my other domains and I just forgot that step. * Thanks for your help!
