    I am using WP for website A. I just purchased a 2nd domain (website B) and am trying to create the site on WP, yet am having trouble. I try to ADD NEW under sites, yet WP automatically includes website A in the site address link. ?? How do I get around this?
    My 2nd domain is completely a separate site from website A.

  • Have you got the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed?

    I tried the Domain Mapping plugin, but it did not work. So I installed WP again and created a new login, etc., though it wouldn’t let me use my websiteB.com domain b/c I already used it as a domain add-on. So I added a sub folder (websiteB.com/dir) & it worked. Then I had to go back into my 1st WP account & redirect the domain (website B) to the new link with the sub folder. Craziness! You’d think it would have been an easy solution. I wish I had never did the domain add-on to begin with & just installed & created a new log-on, etc, but that’s what my host & wp forums said to do. Two days of my life was spent figuring this out, but thankfully now I have two working websites!!

    I could delete them both & start over, but I don’t want to risk the site not working again & going through the hassle a second time.

    Have you got any links you can show the problem you are having. Also note that the domain mapping pluggin does not just work out of the box, you have to do some manual steps to get it working.
