SSL, multisite, domain mapping

    I am in the process of setting up and testing a network of retail sites and am running into an SSL problem.

    I have a site called purelybrands.com. I am using WordPress MU Domain Mapping to map subdomains. The first subdomain I am setting up and testing is purelylawyergifts.purelybrands.com, which is mapped to purelylawyergifts.com.

    WooCommerce is my shopping cart. Bluehost is my host and I have a wildcard SSL certificate.

    When I add a product to the shopping cart and try to check out, I get a warning from Chrome that that says I tried to access purelylawyergifts.com but am reaching a server at *.purelybrands.com and should not proceed. See attached screenshot.

    I have network-installed WordPress HTTPS plug-in, but it does not seem to help. I have now deactivated it.

    At Bluehost instructions here (https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/766), I have modified .htaccess as follows, but it did not fix the problem.

    # BlueHost.com
    #.htaccess WildCard SSL
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^purelylawyergifts.purelybrands.com$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^purelylawyergifts.purelybrands.com$
    RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subfolder/index.php [L]

    I am a novice with SSL, WordPress, etc., so any help is appreciated.

    Since my original post, I have spoken with support at Bluehost. They believe that I’ve done everything correctly but there is an issue with the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plug-in (or at least my implementation of it), which they don’t support. They believe that the basic issue is that I need to have purelylawyergifts.com mapped to purelylawyergifts.purelybrands.com (so that when someone types purelylaywergifts.com in their browser address bar they end up at purelylawyergifts.purelybrands.com), but they believe the plug-in is set to do the opposite.

    I can’t seem to add a screenshot of my current settings for the plug-in, but if I could perhaps this would help others to diagnose my problem.

    In the domain mapping tool for that site set the primary domain to be purelylawyergifts.purelybrands.com.
