Multisite with parked domain

  • I have just converted a regular WordPress site into a multisite and now I see that the parked domains that were working before are now automatically directing to the primary domain (ie. instead of domain2.com staying in the address bar it turns into domain1.com).

    I tried installing the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin but it only allows me to assign domains to the new blogs, not the original one.

    What can I do to fix this?

    You can’t map a domain to your primary site. You can move it, but you can’t map it.

    So there is no way to have multiple parked domains on my primary site? That’s a problem because before converting to Multisite my client had multiple parked domains pointed to his site so that a different splash page would appear depending on which domain you used.

    You could do it with some fancy PHP coding in your static front page, but that’s going at it sideways.

    With Multisite, you make a child site and map the second domain to that site. So domain1.com/sitename2 becomes sitename2.com – it’s a totally separate site.
