Redirect main site to a subsite?

  • I need to temporarily redirect the main site of a multisite (www.mainsitedomain.com) to one of the subsites (site1.mainsitedomain.com) — any suggestions/guidance?

    I know that I need to keep some of the main site pages active since multisite uses the main site domain for things like lost passwords and registration (www.mainsitedomain.com/wp-login.php and https://www.mainsitedomain.com/wp-signup.php), so I can’t do a pure redirect.

    Is there a way to code this via .htaccess? I tried a few redirection plugins, but they didn’t seem to handle this kind of thing.

    .htaccess would be … tricky, since you don’t want to mess up the wp-admin pages.

    I’d probably make a page template on the theme I use for my main site, that redirect the index page.

    Thank you so much Mika! I forgot to come back here and update my post. That’s exactly what I did.

    Very much appreciated!
