Initial Setup Help – Second Domain not working

  • Hi I am new to wordpress and want to use your plugin to run two domains in parallel. By this I mean I want to run https://www.SITE-1.com and https://www.SITE-2.com as the same website. If a user goes to WWW. SITE-1.COM or https://www.SITE-2.com they will see the same thing but the URL will not change.

    I predominantly use WordPress through the Graphical User Interface. I have purchased two domains and have them hosted on the same service. I’m using GoDaddy.

    I read this thread (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/help-needed-with-multiple-domain/) in the Support topics and turned off forwarding SITE-2.com to SITE-1.com in my GoDaddy hosting service.

    Under the General Setting on the Word Press GUI this is what I see:

    General Settings
    ———————————————————————————-
    WordPress Address (URL) https://site-1.com
    Site Address (URL) https://site-1.com
    Enter the address here if you want your site home page to be different from your WordPress installation directory.

    Multiple Domain
    You can use multiple domains in your WordPress defining them below. It’s possible to limit the access for each domain to a base URL.

    Domains
    ———————————————————————————-
    Auto site-1.com/base/path None Remove
    Auto site-2.com/base/path None Remove

    [CHECKED] Ignore default ports
    [NOT CHECKED] Add canonical links

    Currently when I go to https://site-2.com it shows the URL as available for purchase with no website currently at this location. I am running WordPress 5.6.2 and I have the latest version of the Multiple Domain plugin.

    Any ideas what to try next. Is there some other setting I have missed.

    Thanks,

    –Dean

    Hey there, sorry that late answer. Can you post your DNS settings for your two domains?

    Thanks

    Javik, thanks for the response. I will provide DNS settings this week.

    When I saw the plugin was no longer supported I started to work on creating a 2nd wordpress installation and running the two websites in parallel. This has turned out to be a disaster.

    Very glad you guys are supporting this again. More to come soon. –Dean

    Hey there, sorry for that late answer. I’m a bit busy currently.
    When you try to open your second domain can you see your WordPress or not? If not, you may have a DNS Problem or your Webserver is misconfigured. For me, your DNS settings look good.

    If your WordPress comes up, when you access https://site1.com you just need to set https://site2.com in the plugin configs.

    If your WordPress comes up, when you access https://site1.com/wordpress you need to set https://site2.com/wordpress in the plugin configs.

    I hope that is understandable. My english skills are… interesting sometimes.
