JNashHawkins Thanks for your response.
Siteground have an option to install multisite from original setup but it only installs as subdirectories.
I have changed the code in wp-config.php from:
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false ); to
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
The complete config addition is:
define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true );
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘wantlocal.com.au’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
I have not changed any other code.
There is an option for wildcard subdomains and this is enabled.
I am continually getting “server IP address could not be found” errors when trying to log in by browser and also trying to link from the network admin area.
the main website URL is wantlocal.com.au
The sub site is template.wantlocal.com.au
Cheers
