Using different domains on the same wordpress?

    Hi,

    I have a .com address setup to my wordpress at the moment, how can I make my .co.uk address work aswell as my .com on the same website.

    It’s setup as a parked domain and currently if I was to go to my website.co.uk, the initial page is the same as what I see on .com

    Some of the links are .co.uk and some are .com

    Is there a re-write rule that I can set so if the current domain is website.co.uk that all links to website.com are changed to website.co.uk?

    Thanks

    Don’t do that, Google will see it as duplicate content and heavily penalize your site.

    Instead, decide which domain you want to be the primary one, and forward the other domain to it through your domain registrar’s panel.

    By forward, do you mean redirect?

    Surely I can just setup a permenant (301) redirect from .co.uk to the .com adddress, wildcarded?

    Thanks for the advice though 🙂

    Yes, redirect would work fine too.

    Registrars use different terminology, though forward is the most common.
