  • Hello guylevans,

    You can use the WordPress MU Domain Mapping for this.

    Hi Axel13, thanks for the reply its much appreciated.

    Do you mean the MU Domain Mapping plugin?

    Sadly I was unable to get his to work, because my blog is not located in the root folder, it’s in a /blog folder.

    There is supposedly a patched plugin which can get around this problem although I didn’t fully test it:
    https://patchlog.com/wordpress/multisite-in-subfolder/

    My solution however, was to set up a redirect on my domain hosting control panel to perform a frameredirect to my blog location.

    So i chose to redirect (example)
    https://www.mynewcooldomain.com
    to the location of
    https://www.mywebspace.com/blog/secondaryblog

    I tried it yesterday and its working fine now and was much easier than i expected.

    I’m not sure if this is the proper solution but it seems to be working for me.

    Thanks again for the reply though, i’m glad i remembered to come back and post the solution which I found to work for me.

    Cheers

    Ah… TY for the info, guylevans. I never tried it.

    The redirect is more a work around than a solution, since it makes your domain name a little useless and you get long URLs. Yet then again it may not be so bad. According to MOZ, for SEO it’s better to have everything in one site, rather than in multiple sites.

    Grtz!
