 * Yay! That did it!
 * Not sure why I didn’t think to try this before but I wasn’t thinking of adding
   the short domain as an addon domain and THEN redirecting it.
 * Hoping anyone else who runs into this issue will see the workaround.
 * Thank you very much for the reply & your help. Loving the flexibility of this
   plugin combined with it’s simplicity.
 * Best wishes!

 * Today, I’ve actually tried deleting the alias for [http://cole.uno](http://cole.uno)
   in cPanel and adding it as an addon domain, redirecting to [http://coleruddick.com](http://coleruddick.com).
   This still didn’t solve the issue and I get the same exact results as in my previous
   post.
 * Something to note is that the coleruddick.com domain is actually also an addon
   domain on this server. Not sure if that would make any difference, but figured
   it’s worth stating.
 * So, I’ve now gone back to deleting the addon domain cole.uno (since I don’t need
   a directory on the server for it) and re-adding it as an alias.
 * Now, [http://coleruddick.com/AKK1m](http://coleruddick.com/AKK1m) still works
   using a short link generated by the Shortn.it plugin, but [http://cole.uno/AKK1m](http://cole.uno/AKK1m)
   results in a 404. The plugin settings are still set to “Different Domain” with
   the cole.uno domain in the field and [http://cole.uno](http://cole.uno) still
   redirects fine to site’s root (home).
 * Any idea what I’m missing here? I’m currently stumped.
