Our intention is to create a multisite like www.example.com and than point other sites in that multisite installation
www.example2.com
www.example3.com
...
We have set up Wordpress multisite with subdirectories option and also activated Domain Mapping Plugin.
Than we created a child site via Multisite and in Domain Mapping Options we created a domain www.example2.com and conected it with child site via id.
In Plesk than we created a website for www.example2.com with no hosting option.
Also Both of domains www.example.com and www.example1.com are hosted in same server.
We are missing something any suggestion would be appreciated.
First you need create the website on wp multisite from network admin. This will be accessible at ww.example1.com/example2.
Then you need to go to admin of example2 admin and map the domain www.example2.com.
If the domain is pointing to the server where wordpress is (in your case should be as they are on the same place) the site should be available at www.example2.com

I'm confused, I have a miltisite wordpress installation but also another site managing the customer areas.
So I have the site on the main domain www.domaine.com and i installed the wordpress multisite in a subdomain: sites.domain.com
So far everything is fine, but when I want to create a site, wordpress requires me to be subject to the subdomain like this: other.site.domain.com
I tried to modify the .htaccess and wp-config.php but when I go back to the site management it redirects me to www.domaine.com without my being able to access the wordpress multisite management...
How can I create sites with addresses under the domain and not under the subdomain like this:
other.domain.com and not like this other.site.domain.com
Thanks
It's ok, I can't access for two reasons.
One my wildcard is set on other folder than wp installation (blank page on subsite create)
Two I need to set address of new site for replace domain.com/other to other.domain.com
And now I can access to website and subsite.
Thank!
Thank you for your answer, I just tested but it does not react correctly.
When I put the configuration of DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE on domaine.com I can no longer access the settings of the multisite network, I am redirected to the purchase site which is on the domain.
Another thing, if I therefore create a site in a subdirectory and not in a subdomain with the SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL configuration false, when I type test.domaine.com a blank page appears as if there was no site or if I Type site.domain.com/test/ it works.
I cleared the caches everywhere and tried again but nothing happened.
In case I expressed myself badly,
www.domain.com = The commercial site of the company
site.domain.com = Multisite management and sample site
other1.domain.com = Customer site created from site.domain.com
thanks again
I have a fresh Wordpress install that I have put onto a temporary subdomain temp.example.com as I want to transfer in blog.example.com as part of a multisite on this install that will work with the main marketing site www.example.com.
However when I enable multisite and go to the network settings it is trying to create site1.temp.example.com.
How do I configure this so the sites it creates are temp.example.com and site2. example.com (without thesub-sub-domain) so I can transfer the existing sites into this. I already have live sites on the main example.com domain and so can't change the cname/a record for this.
TIA

I have a Domain host (JustHosts.com) that host my domain name:
mydomain.com
I have another server with a WordPress site on it which is accessed directly as:
mywordpress.com/wpsite1
I want this to be accessed via mydomain.com, so:
mydomain.com -> mywordpress.com/wpsite1
The URL should stay as mydomain.com, not go back to mywordpress.com/wpsite1.
I can add the following types of records:
A
CNAME
MX
TXT
SRV
AAAA
What should I do on my domain host to make this change?
Many thanks.
I could solve this in particular condition where we use subdomain to pointing to the WordPress site and the Wordpress site itself is installed on a host provider that is using cPanel.
Formerly I simply set CName on subdomain blog.mydomain.com to the subdomain where my Wordpress site is installed. Unfortunately this pointing was resulting a redirection like this:
http://blog.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
Searching for a solutiom then I found this documentation:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/installation/
It is actually a documentation for a plugin to map any blog/site on a WordPressMU or WordPress 3.X network to an external domain. I didn't install the plugins I just marked that for cPanell users we need to put the mydomain.com as a parked domain in cPanel where the Wordpress site is installed.
So with the cPanel I uninstalled my WordPress and rearrange the installation step as below:
1. Put mydomain.com as a parked domain
2. Re install WordPress using blog.mydomain.com
Viola! The blog.mydomain.com is running the WordPress perfectly and stay in blog.mydomain.com without any error or redirection to other domain.
I followed the instructions for setting up Wordpress multisite using subdomains on a Mediatemple DV server with wildcard DNS and got it working fine, however, I had previously hosted subdomains setup but now Multisite stops these from working by defaulting to the multisite 'system'. How can I set up Multisite so I can choose which subdomains it uses and which ones for it to leave alone incase I need to setup a non-wordpress solution in these ones?
Please double check DNS records. The way I have my instances, is I use a wildcard on a CNAME pointing to my server (# or ip)
For subdomains that aren't apart of the "wp multisite network" I used A records pointing to the server ip. From there, those subdomains have to be parked properly. Say for instance, in WHM I create a cPanel account for subdomain.domain.com that roots to /home/subdomain/public_html - meanwhile domain.com cPanel accout roots to /home/domain/pubic_html - apache resolves both respectively.
I have a wordpress installation on its own folder, on my server that hosts another site (non-wp) to. I want to keep the wp installation to its own sudirectory, but change the url to point directly to the blog (to get rid of /wp in the url).
Is it possible?
How does the index.php have to be configured to correctly point to both sites hosted?
You should set the subdomain in something like your cPanel with the web hosting.
Example:
I want to have: blog.domain.com and www.domain.com
www.domain.com is set by default.
In your hosting settings, you will need to create the blog sub-domain and have it point directly to another directory.
