Thanks! This is exciting. I’ll be in contact as we move forward!

Great, thanks! I appreciate your help. Really wonderful plugin. I’m looking forward to using it. This feature in particular was requested by a user, so I’m excited!

That is the case. What type of measurements do I need to enter to trigger the options?

Ron — thanks for the help. Here’s what I did:

1) delete everything (sigh)
2) created a new main domain for my server that more correctly represented the logic of what I do. This way, everything could fall back to that without conflicts.
3) had the hosting company rename my account to put that domain as primary.
4) installed wordpress 4.0 in the root directory of that new domain
5) installed domain mapping plugin
6) began importing the blogs. I’ve got 2 of them done and one live.
7) parked and domain mapped 1. Will try with more soon.

I can access all control panels and sites. So — it was something I’d botched in the database during the install.

I’ll let you know if anything changes, but I think this fixes it.

Okay. I tried network disabling the plugin and it locked me out of everything. I’m not even going to try and sort this out at this point. All I can think is that I must’ve messed up the database somewhere in my initial setup.

So, I’m going to start over from scratch and re-arrange the domains on my server. I’ll check back in when it is done and let y’all know if it works.

I’m pretty sure this was my error from that initial setup.

Things I’ve learned:
1) must be set up in the root directory
2) start with your primary domain FIRST — don’t try to change which is primary later.

Ron — just to be clear:

The plugin DOES work with 4.0, right?

I contacted technical support. They said that mod_rewrite is enabled. According to them, Apache “is configured in such a way that it does not need to be restarted.”

I’ve double-checked htaccess and the Rewrite Engine is on. Not being the best with servers, I’m kind-of taking their word for it. I have, however, used mod_rewrite for other non wordpress issues on this server and have had good success.

Just not this time.

I’ve used your plugin on a WordPress 3 site with great success, which is why I’m wondering about this being a WordPress 4 issue.

Ron — Thanks for that! That helps and explains a lot. So I know THAT part is working fine.

Here’s what I’ve done.
I have 5 sites. I imported the data into a WordPress 4 MU environment. I set up rough designs for each site. At this point I could access dashboard and website for each site.

Two were ready to go — the main one and one other. I enabled the Domain mapping plugin and mapped the first 2 sites. Both of those sites work. I can get to the dashboard for the main site and I can get to the Network dashboard from the main site. (I’d missed that limitation.)

When I try to access the dashboard for the #2 site, I get the dashboard for the #1 site.

When I try to access the dashboard for the #3-#5 sites (unmapped) I also get the dashboard for the #1 site.

When I try to access the unmapped sites via the dashboard, I get a “page not found” site on the #1 site.

It is entirely possible that I’ve messed up the site. At one point, my #1 site was actually #3. I’ve followed directions elsewhere for changing this and it seemed to work really well before I began domain mapping. So THAT may be part of the problem.

Also, I initially had this set up in a subdomain and then read that for domain mapping to work, I had to move to the root. So I moved it following the directions — but again the possibility for error is high. I tested the sites with domain mapping turned off and they are all where they are supposed to be, all working, all dashboards going to their individual dashboards.

If I could get #2’s dashboard to go to #2’s dashboard (as opposed to the main site), I’d be comfortable that this was going to work.

If I had something definitive that says “it works with 4.0” then I’d go ahead and check to see if I’ve got an error in my database.

I’m aware that I may need to rebuild the whole thing correctly (avoiding the mistakes I made during this process). I just need some assurance that it DOES work with version 4.0 before I do that work again.

I agree that this would be good. I suspect this isn’t the place, though. ??

I would be happy to help, but I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m contemplating stripping everything down and starting over. Considering the network includes 5 different sites, you’ll see why I’m loath to do it!

I’m really stuck. One of these days I will just need to do it. Sigh. And it is EXTREMELY likely that I broke something while setting it up. I just don’t know.

I’m currently searching for more information about how to do it without plugins as well. Because this isn’t working and it doesn’t look like help is available.

I am also having serious issues with WordPress 4.0 and 0.5.4.3. With options #1 and #4 checked (sorry, can’t see them now…) I could get to the Network Dashboard of my sites, and the Dashboard of the first site, but not the others. With #1 and #4 NOT checked, I can now get to the dashboards of the first 2 sites, but NOT the network dashboard–this making it rather difficult to undo.

It seemed to be adding the 3rd one that unsettled everything. However, I will say it hasn’t been smooth for me.

This is my 2nd MU network setup, but my first on WordPress 4.0. It has been a while, but I don’t remember having this much trouble before…

At this point, I’ve tried so many things, I’m just glad I have a backup from before I turned on domain mapping. Problem is, I need the domain mapping.

SO — the plugin says untested with version 4.0. HAS anyone got it working?
