Hi @djbills,
Can you explain how you have this setup with DNS? So you do not have WP installed in a subdirectory called on thesprocketship.com/vfxpdx/ correct?
Yes, WP install is on the web server in the webroot/vfxpdx/ folder. Domain points to this 2nd level folder.
In WP, to handle the domain masking, you can simply tell it to point to http://www.vfxpdx.com in settings/general and then dns handles the rest as far as the masking. Users only see vfxpdx.com/pages and never see the true thesprocketship.com/vfxpdx urls.
However, when setting this up like this, it breaks the job board. I had to revert to the old “thesprocketship.com/vfxpdx/” urls and the job board works again.
How can I get this working with a masked url in this way?

I have to be honest I have no experience with masking like this. What are the values for siteurl and homeurl in wp_options? I know this seems obvious but why aren’t you hosting this domain in it’s own webroot?
both are http://www.thesprocketship.com/vfxpdx – because they have to be for your plugin to work. Would rather set them to http://www.vfxpdx.com
simple reason I have them ganged up like this – I have about 5 domains all under 1 hosting account rather than having all hosted separately. Much less expensive! Hosting acct allows this, unlimited.
a-ha! stop the (word)press! Just to verify before hitting submit on this message, I tried changing it and it seems to be working. I’m not sure what was blocking it before. Or maybe it’s a bug that you’ve fixed in the meantime. Either way, appears to be working now so let’s consider this closed and I’ll reply later if it creeps back up (or start a new thread) next job that’s posted or whatever.
thanks
