Once within mapped domain, all links point to that domain

  • Hey, great plugin, have used it on a couple of sites with great success.

    In the current instance I’m trying to use it, it’s a simpler setup as there are less subpages involved, but I’m finding it more difficult to implement.

    The secondDomain.com is correctly redirecting from primaryDomain.com/page, as are all of the subpages underneath (eg primaryDomain.com/page/subPage successfully automatically going to secondDomain.com/subPage).

    But, when I’m within secondDomain.com, if I click on any of the navigation links which should take me back to primaryDomain.com/someOtherPage, its instead showing me secondDomain.com/someOtherPage in the address bar.

    It’s like once I’m within the secondDomain.com, I can’t easily get back to primaryDomain.com – even clicking on the site logo which should take me back to primaryDomain.com in the address bar displays secondDomain.com.

    For obvious reasons I can’t set this up and leave it for someone to take a look, so I hope the above makes sense.

    Thanks heaps in advance,

    hy ??
    thank your for your kind words!

    first you should check, if the links in menu and logo in your website are full urls like https://primaryDomain.com/someOtherPage which is necessary for our plugin to detect them. if there are relative urls like /someOtherPage that would be the problem and you would need to change it in your theme.

    Hey Matt, no worries, credit where credit is due, it’s a really helpful plugin, and thanks for the speedy reply.

    For the navigation links, am just using wp_nav_menu. I can’t see any parameters that’ll let me change the structure of the link from relative to absolute (if there is a way that you know of, please let me know!). I miiiiight be able to use nav_menu_link_attributes to accomplish this…I’ll investigate.

    My alternative is to create an if around wp_nav_menu to see if we’re on the ID of the page secondDomain resolves to (or a child page of that id), and use a different nav menu that has the urls as custom links but that feels a little cumbersome if there’s some parameter that’ll let me force urls in the navigation to be absolute.

    Cheers,

    hy,
    if you are using wp_nav_menu that should not be the problem. just check it in your source code if there are really absolute paths in the a-tags.

    for further investigation you would need to provide detailed information about your sites like described here please https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/support-rules-2/
