Hey Everyone,

I’m having an issue setting up SSL on my Multisite install.
Does anyone have any real documentation on how to properly set up a wordpress multisite with SSL with mapped domains?

Thanks!

With mapped domains, you’ll need a separate SSL for each site. Sorry.

With subdomains (not mapped), you’ll need a wildcard subdomain cert. And subdirectory installed (not mapped) should be able to use a regular old single site cert.

OK, that’s a good start, can definitely do a separate SSL for each mapped domain.

How do we handle insecure content? Because all the networked sites are subdomains so images are loaded from http://subdomain.mainsite.com.

Hi @echoleaf rather than resurrect a 9 month old topic, can you please start your own?

You’ll get a reply if you do. This is per the forum welcome. 😉

@echoleaf Could you explain in a bit more detail what you’re trying to achieve?

Do I get it right that you have a network installation with mapped domains, like:
oneofthedomains.com
anotherdomain.org
thirddomain.com
… all mapped to mainsite.com?

And then the images are loaded from
images.mainsite.com OR
are they loaded from images.oneofthedomains.com, etc.?

Oh, and next time you want to ask a new question: better to open your own topic, rather than taking over a 9 months old topic from someone else…

Thanks, I do know about creating new topics but I’ve found that sometimes topics go unanswered (especially if they don’t have easy answers) and that it can helpful to learn how others solved a similar problem.

@tobifjellner You’ve understand correctly. Perhaps you can answer at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-practices-for-ssl-for-networked-sites/?view=all ? Thanks!
