@ipstenu, thank you very much for that simple clarification.
@andrea_r Is it the permanent redirect option? What about the disable primary domain check?

Hope someday I can pay it forward to other new users. Thank you both for being so unselfish with your knowledge!

As we say in Hawaii – Much Mahalo!

“Permanent redirect” uses a 301 redirect rather than 302 to send visitors to your domain mapped site.
“Redirect administration pages to network’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)” – with this checked, if a user visits their dashboard on a mapped domain it will redirect to the dashboard on the non mapped domain. If you don’t want this, remote login will be disabled for security reasons.
“Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues.” – ignore the primary domain setting on your sites. The same content will be available on multiple domains and may cause problems with Google because of duplicate content issues.

@ipstenu,
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll repost as a new question. btw, if not MU what is it now?

@frisco
I’m newbie, where do you look to see how Google has indexed your site?
I too have been running WordPress MU, in fact I have now have two baby hosting plans with Hostgator.

I usually build the site – subdomain. I work on content, themes and plugins and when I’m ready I buy the domain name and map it using WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin by Donncha.

Is this wrong? I don’t want to develop habits if they are not the right way to building my wordpress sites. Does this methodology affect SEO and rankings?

Thanks for any input for you experts out there.

Mahalo!

You guys get this issue resolved yet? I trying to use it with WP 3.13. Getting errors.

Anyone new try this plugin with WP 3.13? Sure would like some answers.

Does this work with WordPress 3.13? The error I’m getting is Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/fjumayao/public_html/wp-content/plugins/android-market-top-weekly-apps/rawapps_widget_template.php on line 27

Tim,
Thanks so much for sticking with me. I appreciate folks like you who help noobs like me. When I become proficient to some degree, I will definitely pass the help along to someone else.

Your suggestion might have worked but I ended up performing a manual re-install of 3.11 by following these instructions:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

De-activated all my plugins and started them all up again. And it fixed it. What was fixed? Not really sure. But it’s working now!

Again as we say in Hawaii – Much Mahalo!

Hi Tim,
No actually I was updating from 3.1.

Andrea – you are my hero! Thanks for giving this newbie hope! After struggling with the concepts it’s all clear now!!! I appreciate your patience and willingness to help newbies such as myself. WordPress MU rocks! One more clarification. If I build another blog and map another domain to this other blog do I add it as primary as well in the plugin settings?

Thanks for replying Andrea, but I’m still confused. hawaii-owned-site.com is parked on the cpanel of logical.net. Do you mean I should redirect it?
Also I didn’t see it in the directions that linked above? Sorry a little slow here….
