I have a multisite wordpress install at plataforma.vendamais.pt
And I have a wildcard for *.plataforma
So all new sites created have this url:
client01.plataforma.vendamais.pt
client02.plataforma.vendamais.pt
and so on.
I need to connect my client’s domains to the correspondent website, so the url client01.plataforma.vendamais.pt
wont be visible.
As a real case, I have a client’s website here:
www.tancredoferrari.plataforma.vendamais.pt/
I need to have his domain tancredoferrari.pt pointing to that address, so his clients will navigate using tancredoferrati.pt
and wont see any of the www.tancredoferrari.plataforma.vendamais.pt
url.
Is it possible?
There’s 2 options here:
Option 1
An CNAME record on the live domain’s DNS should be sufficient to do this – so long as you’re happy that the resource requests (images, scripts, styles and so forth) behind the scenes are going to the staging domain URLS (
client02.plataforma.vendamais.pt
and so forth).Option 2
Check out the wordpress plugin WordPress MU Domain Mapping. With that you can map the site to multiple domains (and set the primary), which is a better approach.
