Multisite SSL Domain Mapping

  • I’m attempting to migrate a client site to SSL. I have certificates for both the client and a wildcard for my domain.

    The site is setup on multisite as a subdomain.
    client.foo.com
    and mapped to the client’s domain
    client.com

    The certs for
    *.foo.com
    and
    client.com
    have been installed.

    Plugins aren’t working because some of the needed files are being loaded by links to the subdomain, for example:
    https://client.foo.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css

    https://client.foo.com is attempting to use the certificate for client.com and not for *.foo.com.

    Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? Looks like there are two possible solutions.

    1. Force all plugins to use the mapped client.com domain to load dependent files rather than the original client.foo.com subdomain.

    2. Make the subdomain pickup the wildcard certificate instead of the certificate for the mapped domain.

    How did you map the domains in the first place?

    I use the WordPress MU Domain Mapping, which is up to date.

    Is there another way to map domains in Multisite?

    There are a few different ways ??

    Did you set your domains to use the mapped domain as the wp-admin back end URL, or are they using the main site’s URL?

    Huh, interesting. I didn’t know there were other methods of mapping.

    I have the check mark set in the box marked
    Redirect administration pages to site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)

    If I understand your question correctly, they are using the main site’s URL as the wp-admin back end. When I am in wp-admin the url is client.foo.com.

    Right. That’s why.

    Uncheck it, and don’t use remote login.

    You need both front AND backend to be the mapped domain here.
