I am at a lost and would require help ASAP. I would also like some information on a few things and some clarifications:
Added the domain mapping plugin to my fresh multisite installation, added the wp-config info, moved the sunrise.php to the proper location. Since I own the domain(s) I want to map, I created addon domains that point to the root of my multisite. Nothing works. The domain is “unavailable” (or health = invalid) as per the error prompt when I try to map it. I don’t get it. What am I missing?
I tried just forwarding one of the domain I own to the main multisite domain and then looked to see if ti could be mapped (be valid) and it was. Now that doesn’t solve my issue since it just goes to the primary domain (and doesn’t actually map to the child sites), but shows that the addon domain scenario is not being picked up by the plugin it seems.
Anyways, I’ve mapped sueccesfully using the addon domains before (in a previous WordPress install) and it worked fine, the difference is that the multisite was not the primary domain (root of “public_html” but another installation withing the public_html folder _/public_folder/site2.com/). Now I’ve read on the internet that addon domain won’t work if the multisite is the root… pls tell me that’s not the case since your documentation makes zero references to this.
2. how does one go about creating a CNAME for a sub-directory install? Your guide doesn’t explain it.
My hosting is at goddady if that matters.
