The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Single Blog (!) for multiple top-level domains? (5 posts)

    We are running a WordPress MU based blog at the domain

    ourdomain.net

    We now want

    ourdomain.com

    to point to the exact same instance. So effectively, ourdomain.net and ourdomain.com should point to the same single blog. It doesn't work with the Domain Mapping plugin as it only works on subdomains.

    Is there any way to configure a single blog instance to "listen for" multiple top-level domains?

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    If you have a subdomain setup, the Domain Mapping plugin will actually let you domain map the main blog to another domain.

    But will this work for multiple domains?

    So that both myblog.ourdomain.net and myblog.ourdomain.com go to the same blog?

    @pbrink That's exactly my question. I want to have to different domains point to the SAME blog, not the other way around.

    So essentially

    http://www.mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.net should point to the same instance.

    Is it really possible that something that basic cannot be achieved with WP MU?

    It's got nothing to to with MU really. You do it in your DNS records. (well, that's one way... make a CNAME record at the .com pointing to the .net)
