Setting up 2 TLD’s (domains) for one installation

  • Hey there,

    I’m trying to install a WordPress website which will have translations depending on the URL that has been picked. I have a .com domain and a .nl domain.

    So far I have set up multisite, but this is for a sub-domain. Is it also possible to run one installation for both domains? And if so Where could I find a pretty detailed tutorial about this, because so far I have only seen setups for subdomains (or I am just confused about this).

    Help would be appreciated ^^

    Multisite (and WordPress) doesn’t work that way. You could conceivably create 2 sites with identical translated content but what you are trying to do isn’t for multisite.

    Have you looked at translation plugins?

    Thank you for your reply ??

    I am planning to use qTranslate-X for this. I have configured it so when people switch the language from one to the other that it will come out at the .com or .nl domain. However I did not manage to get the .nl set up with this purpose.

    So how would I would need 2 WordPress installations and it cannot work from 1 database?

    Without a plugin, that is correct.

    With a translation plugin… Maybe not. ?? I know that some will do example.com/nl/slug-for-post but I don’t know about domains. That would seem weird to me but they may support that.
