Do I need the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed to use WordPress Mult

  • Hi,

    Have been trying to setup and configure WordPress Multi sites on my domain. I have installed and activated the “Sub Domain” install.

    I am simply looking to create site likes this.

    Main website:

    https://www.example.com

    Sub Domain Sites:

    https://docs.example.com

    https://demo.example.com

    So far I have created the sub domain https://docs.example.com in the WordPress Dashboard. To be able to access the WordPress Dashboard for this sub domain I had to create a sub domain in cPanel that pointed docs to the public_html directory.

    Also in my VPS.net hosting panel I had to create an A Record for docs pointing to the IP address of my server

    My issue is that when I try and view https://docs.example.com in a web browser I always get a blank white screen.

    Do I need the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed to use WordPress Multisite. I have installed it previously but it didn’t make a difference.

    No matter what I try I always get the white page when viewing the sub domain. Server logs do not displays any errors.

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    If you have wildcard domains setup properly you should NOT need to set up the subdomains in your hosting account. You would only create the site in the network, and the wildcard domains would take care of creating the subdomain.

    Unless you are wanting docs.example.com to appear on a totally different domain. (ie., doc.com), you won’t need domain mapping.

    If you have the wildcard set up properly, and you remove all the subdomain & A records from hosting, you should be able to make the subsite work.
