WordPress MU

Hi

I have a http://www.domain1.ca with two add-on .com domains in my cpanel account. My current website at http://www.domain1.ca is an HTML static site and I want the WPmu activated theme to be the home page. Which files do I edit to make that happen?

I'm really lost on how to setup the blogs and domain mapping for the other two domains http://www.domain1.com and http://www.domain2.com if this is even possible. I want to manage each of the different blog's content from a single WPmu installation.

In Edit Blog, my path is http://domain1.ca/domain1.com/ but that isn't working.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Al

Hi Andrea,

From the screen shot in the link you provided, it looks like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle.

Logged in as Admin, I see

Admin > Domain Mapping [I can enter only an IP address]

but not

Tools > Domain Mapping

the plugin is installed in wp-content/mu-plugins/

Additional observations:

1. When I upload domain_mapping.php into wp-content/mu-plugins/ I can see

Admin > Domain Mapping

without Activating the plugin, because no plugin appears in the Manage Plugins page

2. When I delete the file wp-content/mu-plugins/ and put domain_mapping.php into wp-content/plugins/ I see it in

Manage Plugins and Admin > Domain Mapping

after activating the plugin.

3. In neither case does Tools > Domain Mapping appear.

When you put plugins in mu-plugins, they WILL NOT show up in the plugins list, as they are already active.

You will not see the menu under Tolls, when you are on the main blog. this is so you don't re-map the main blog to a different domain and lock yourself out. You have to visit the backend of the blog you want to map.

Thank you. That was somewhat clearer. I was able to see the Domain Mapping under Tools [for a while].

Now I've lost my Backend page. I get a 404 message.

I can get into Edit where I see

Domain http://

domain1.ca

Path /domain1.com

Site url: http://domain1.ca/domain1.com/

Home: http://domain1.ca/domain1.com/

etc.

Not sure what I'm missing.

How about the double URL? Pick one, not both. You're supposed to put in the domain you want to map it to.

I'm looking forward to the A-HA! moment when it comes.

This is the path I see when I get the 404 message after clicking on Backend:

http://domain1.ca/domain1.com/wp-admin/

This is the domain to be mapped, right?:-)

On that page, in addition to the 404 message. I see the blog in plain HTML

I was able to visit the Backend for a few minutes. I can no longer get to it and no longer see Domain Mapping under Tools.

Maybe I mucked something up in the cPanel.

Want to take a look?:-)
