In reply to: Multistie, subdomains, domain mapping… arghhhh, help!Thats what I think im doing…
In cPanel Im adding a parked domain mysite1.com and putting blogs.mydomain.com in the box saying “redirects to” this is the subdomain in which WP is istalled.
If I dont redirect this parked domain to the dir where WP is isntalled, going to mysite1.com takes me to mydomain.com which doesnt contain a WP install. Although my primary domain is mydomain.com I installed WP into the subdomain blogs.mydomain.com.
I then go to the blog in WP which is in a subdir blogs.mydomain.com/blog1 and enter mysite1.com as primary domain in the domain mappin gplugin.
I then visit mysite1.com and it goes to blogs.mydomain.com.. its as iff the plugin is just not doing its job and mapping me to blogs.mydomain.com/blog1

In reply to: Multistie, subdomains, domain mapping… arghhhh, help!Just gone through the working domain I have, where WP is installe in the root domain, not a sub.. there are no redirects setup, other than then dns entries you would expect to see pointing the names to the server IP…
So I would assume by adding a redirect for the parked domain to the blogs.mydomain.com where WP in installed, this should work… the redirect works, if I go to mysite1.com it redirects to blogs.mydomain.com but the domain mapping isnt working… so the url doesnt say mysite1.com

In reply to: Multistie, subdomains, domain mapping… arghhhh, help!Ive redirected mysite1.com to blogs.mydomain.com which is the root dir for the WP Multisite install, enabled domain mapping and set mysite1.com as primary domain, but when I go there, it still says original url (blogs.mydomain.com) in the address bar and not the mapped.. so the redirect is working to the root directoyr, but the drive map isnt…
Ive also tried the redirect to blogs.mydomain.com/blog1 which is the actual desitnation url Im trying to map to, and again this gets there, but url is showing as destination address.
If I remove redirects altogether, I get the root domain itself.
So it looks like the redirect is wokring ok, but domain mapping is not doing its job…

In reply to: Multistie, subdomains, domain mapping… arghhhh, help!Ok, removed all manual domain redirects.. at this point, using domian mapping, mysite1.com takes you to mydomain.com (root domain, not where WP is installed).
Added cname for mysite1.com to point to blogs.mydomain.com, and like the redirect, it takes you to that site, but show the destination address not the mapped domain addresss mysite1.com
Think I can only conlcude that the domain mapping plugin will not work if WP Multisite is installed in a subdomain!…

In reply to: Multistie, subdomains, domain mapping… arghhhh, help!Will have a look at the CNAME/ANAME suggestion.. I do have this working fine on another seperate domain I have, but this has the WP Multistie installed in the root of the primary domain, not a sub domain.. could this be the issue? Checking the config of this, this has no domain redirects, simply a parked domain which Im using for the primary domain map…
I decided to start again, and go through each step more thoroghly – after solving some redirection problems (due to htaccess file in wrong directory!).. the site works fine without domain mapping enabled.
blogs.mydomain.com (Primary domain with WP Multisite enabled)
blogs.mydomain.com\blog1 (You guessed it, blog1!)mystie1.com (domain reditected to blogs.mydomain.com\blog1)
If I set mysite1.com as the primary domain map for blogs.mydomain.com\blog1, I get a redirection error… presumerably due to the manual redirect I have been using while setting up the site and testing things.
If I remove the manual redirect, going to mystie1.com simply takes me to my primary toot domain mydomain.com. So I tried a redirect to the blogs.mydomain.com which is the WP Multisite install dir, and yes, it directs me to this site when visiting mysite1.com but the address shows the actual destination url.
Its like the manual domain redirect I have used is taking priority over the domain mapping. But having none at all takes me to my primary domain (not the WP Multisite sub).

In reply to: Multistie, subdomains, domain mapping… arghhhh, help!Thanks for your advice.. Ill go through it shortly…
It was my understanding thet domain mapping (via the wp plugin) ensures that the URL visitors see is for example, http://www.mysite1.com and not the actual destinaiton url.. I assume simply using a redirect would show this?
Ive just had a thought that Im actually trying to redirect to a subfolder which does really exist.. isnt it essentially a virutal subfolder created by WP?
What gets me though, is Ive actually had this working, on and off, but its not consistant!
Im actually thinking also that maybe I cant run multisite from a subdomain… would be good to have confirmaiton of this..
How did you resolve this, I have smae issue with domain mapping only working when visiting the https urls, not the normal http…

I didnt realise there actually was a pop calendar, which would be useful, but would be equally happy to disable the calendar, if it meant hacking the theme apart…
Its the first theme I have created, using Artisteer.. as Im a noob!
Thank you!
