Adding an external subdomain to a multisite

  • Hi all,

    I am not sure that the title is right, but here is what I’d like to say.
    I had a website domain.com
    When I bought a software for my next project, the author created in my Plesk ‘control panel’ a subdomain which will take the load and all functions of the new software. He created the subdomain using the functions of Plesk.
    Later I decided to have a multisite created by the other way – changing the config.php and .htaccess as we always do.
    Now I have a multisite installation where I can create subdomains with the ‘normal’ way, but the subdoamin created before is not part of this installation.
    I hope my explanation is clear.
    I’d like to add this external subdomain to my multisite in order to take a full advantage of it.

    Please advice! Thank you!

    You can add the subdomain within WP (assuming a subdomain based WP), then in Plesk point that subdomain to your WP installation directory. Then the subdomain becomes a subsite of WP. But that would presumably break whatever functionality that was built into the subdomain to start with, wouldn’t it? How is moving the subdomain into WP going to take full advantage of WP when its purpose is something else? What does this subdomain currently do? I’m not convinced what you want is something you should do.
