WordPress Multisite on GoDaddy – EASY Domain/Subdomain Setup – NO Wildcard DNS

  • After setting up WordPress Multisite on GoDaddy, I was not able to access any of my Domains and Sub-Domains Dashboards using my Network Admin. The Dashboard Menus were there just not accessable : (

    To correctly set up WordPress Multisite with one installation for several sites on GoDaddy, I couldn’t find the answer anywhere. Even GoDaddy Support told me I had to set up separate WordPress Installations for each site.

    I finally found the answer and it is SUPER-EASY…

    Creating a sub-domain in the “Hosted Domains” section of Godaddy’s Control panel for every sub-site created in WordPress and…

    specifying the root folder “/”

    of the WordPress Installation as the sub-domain’s path.

    This allows the DNS to direct your request to the of the WordPress Installation where “.htaccess” file is waiting to handle the request appropriately for all your Network-enabled Themes, Plugins, etc.
