 * hello everyone,
 * recently I created a new wp site in a subdomain ([http://www.severineautin.com/soielin/](http://www.severineautin.com/soielin/))
   
   and asked for an alias [http://www.soie-lin-soit-lautre.com](http://www.soie-lin-soit-lautre.com).
 * as my previous webmaster cannot help me, I tried to modify the .htaccess file(
   but I am not aware of the language) like this :
    _# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule
   mod\_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /soielin/ RewriteRule ^index.php
   $ – [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} [http://www.soie-lin-soit-lautre.com](http://www.soie-lin-soit-lautre.com)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} !^/soielin RewriteRule . /soielin/index.php [L] </
   IfModule> # END WordPress
 * but…. it is not working properly :
    the redirection leads to [http://www.severineautin.com](http://www.severineautin.com),
   domain which then appears in the address bar in the browser (which I do not want)
 * Please can you help me ?
    Best regards, Severine

 * Hi,
    If you have created the subdomain **soielin** it is accessed via [http://soielin.severineautin.com](http://soielin.severineautin.com)
 * If you want to link a new domain to serve the content from the subdomain, instead
   of adding a subdomain, link the new domain as Addon Domain. Addon Domains section
   is available if you’re using cPanel. Check with your web host whether your package
   supports Addon Domains. Sometimes you might need to upgrade your hosting package
   to get this.
 * If you intend to use the subdomain [http://soielin.severineautin.com](http://soielin.severineautin.com),
   remove the .htaccess file you have created. Then try accessing the site.
 * Let me know whether the above step solves the problem.
 * Good day!
