Hmm – never heard of that occurring with this plugin before. The line number in the error message has to do with the blog list widget. Have you added the widget to your blog? If so, can you try removing it to see if that’s the cause?

Hi,

Not sure which “Path” you’re referring to.

What I recommend is that before you enable the plugin, you ensure that you are able to access the home page of your WordPress site using either of your desired domains (or subdomains). This usually requires adding a domain alias in your hosting control panel or apache config.

Once you have that working, you can enable the plugin and then specify what category(ies) to display for each specific domain.

Cheers,
Eric.

Sounds like it might be a problem with URL rewriting. In order for the plugin to work properly, you should be able to access the base site using any of your additional URLs (via domain aliasing). As you’ved noted:

However when I visit https://sub1.server.local, WP seems try to redirect me to “https://sub1.server.localhttp/sub1.server.local This seems to be the default WP behavior without MiniMU install.

it seems like there’s a problem with your configuration.
Once you confirm that your server is configured correctly, you can them enable MiniMU and configure the additional domains as desired.

Thanks for the note on adding “local” as a TLD. I’ll add this into the plugin to handle cases such as yours.

Cheers,
Eric.

I just pushed out an update (0.6.2) that should resolve this issue. Please let me know if that does the trick.

Strange – are you using the same theme for all of your domains?

You’ll need to configure additional domains as aliases in your hosting config. In Plesk they’re called “Domain Aliases”, and in cPanel, they’re called “Parked Domains”. If you’re working with Apache config files, the use the ServerAlias directive.

Sorry for the late reply – I just spotted this thread.
I’ve created a plugin called “MiniMU” that would likely do what you need to accomplish. Multiple domains, each of which can have a different theme, but also share content if desired.

Hi,

I ran into the same situation, so I made this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/minimu

Hope it helps!

Hi AJ,

I look a look at the scenario you outlined, and am seeing the same thing. If a category only appears on one domain, any links to it should reference that domain. Look like a bug I’ll need to fix – thanks for pointing it out.

SEO: What do you mean by “optimize the secondary domain names”?
Another SEO concern I’ve had is the issue of potentially showing the same content on two domains, and whether Google may see this as being spammy. I’ve thought about adding a noindex meta tag to mitigate this.

Cheers,
Eric.

Hi,

I’ll take a look and see if this is an easy change. Drop me a note to [email protected] and I’ll send a version to test.

Cheers,
Eric.

Hi,

There are a few different ways I could have approached this. At the time, the use of categories worked best for the problem I needed to solve, so that’s how it was built.

I’ll make note of your request and see if it could be worked into a future version. I can’t say when that’ll happen though.

Cheers,
Eric.

Hi,

I’m just about to release a new version of this plugin, and it should address the issues you’re running in to. Let me know if you still run into problems with the newest version.

Cheers,
Eric.

Thanks for letting me know! Maybe some type of URL rewriting issue?

Hi,

Strange – I haven’t come across this problem before. Could you provide some details?
– the version of WordPress you’re running
– which webserver is used being (Apache, IIS, etc)
– which version of the plugin you are using

I’ve been working on some major improvements to MiniMU, and I’m hoping to release a new version shortly (next week or so).

Meanwhile, I’ll do some additional testing and see if I’m able to replicate this problem.

Cheers,
Eric.

Domain parking wouldn’t be the right option. Looks like Dreamhost has a feature they call “Domain Mirroring” (https://wiki.dreamhost.com/Mirror_Domain) that would do what we need.
