Add ability to set the default domain

Greetings brewlabs :-)

the default domain is the root domain and all the rest of the domains are mapped to sub domains of the root.

Joe :-)

I want to map the following:

domain.com
http://www.domain.com

but I want http://www.domain.com to be what it says in the URL. When I add both after commenting out line 30 it always shows the root domain. I use CNAMEs to manage my sites and therefore need the http://www.domain.com to be the default mapped URL.

In the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) you can choose your primary mapped domain.

Hey again.

I see what you mean, I guess its never been an issue for me because I don't use www, its a defunct subdomain which hasn't really been needed for years.

Over the years just like projects as GoPHP5 there are also those promoting no-www.

Anyway, to add multiple domains you can either add the following to your wp-config.php:

define('DOMAINMAPPING_ALLOWMULTI', 'yes');

Or you can uncomment this around line 30 in the following file:

wp-content/plugins/domain-mapping/domain-mapping.php

Our plugin does not currently support www though. I know the addition was being considered so I'll check on that and get back to you. :-)

Take care.

Hi Brewlabs,

Is your site and your database set up as www? [For instance, when you visit the site, is there a www in the address bar?]In the last site I set up, I did not have it set up as a www site, just http://domain.com...

If that is the situation then you will have to tweak some settings to get the www in there...I can help you with that if it is the problem - been there and done that one :)

Cheers!

Okay,

For me, I used my host company's live support to help walk me through this.... I used the method of changing the URL name directly through the database. In your cPanel, use phpMyAdmin, and log in. Once you are logged in, there will be a list of databases on the left. Choose your wordpress database and then you will choose wp_options and then click the "Browse" button that should show up on the right. Down below a list of database entries will show, the second one should be the URL. You will want to click on it and a box should open where you can change the url from domain.com to http://www.domain.com. Depending on how much you have created in the database, you may have to do this for several more entries, especially if there are several blogs already set up, each of those will have places to change the name.

Search for "Changing the URL directly in the database " on this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

There you will see there are many different ways to do it, but I found the database way was the easiest, however at the time I did not have a ton of entries to change. Definitely hit your host up for some help if you have live customer support!

Hope this helps!

I have not ever done a re-direct like that...I don't think anyway....

Conceivably it should work, however :) I'll ponder that a bit as I relax this evening, something might come to me or hopefully to someone who's smarter than me on these boards :D I think you are moving in the right direction, however!
