Moving the location of specific sites within a multisite installation

It looks as though the Domain Mapping plugin should work, as described here:
– https://www.binaryturf.com/run-multiple-sites-wordpress-30-separate-domains/

Not sure if this would let me set individual sites live however? Would I still need to do them all in one go?

Read this:

https://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/

However, I have just read this article:
– https://www.realisingdesigns.com/2010/09/16/moving-the-domain-of-a-wordpress-multisite-install

And I can see that it’s not that simple with a Multisite, as I need to modify wp-config.php too. So surely this would just affect EVERY website.

That article is completely irrelevant to what you want to do. It’s about changing the domain name of your entire installation – not making a new domain name for each site. Ignore it. Forget you read it.

Thanks for the info.

Checked out the domain mapping plugin earier (see post above) but haven’t had chance to properly try it out yet.

So it should allow me to move individual sites then?

You’re not ‘moving’ sites, per sey, you’re pointing domains at them. It’s semantics, but it matters here ??

What you want is for domainname.com to point to yourblog.com/company/blogname right?

Yup that’s right ??

then this is what you need. Like ipstenu said – they are not moving. ??

Cool thanks ??

Would it make any difference to WordPress whether or not the websites were actually moving location though? I assumed if the URLs were changing then WordPress would just class that as moving location?

The domain mapping plugin takes care of it. ??

Wow that plugin worked like a charm! No need to update the database or anything, can’t believe it ??

Do you not think it’s wierd that this isn’t the default behaviour of WP though? I would have expected this kind of feature to be included with it.

No, I don;t think it should be in core becasue it requires (in some cases) a significant amount of server setup to function.
