Everything seems to work fine, but I've just ran into one problem. On all domains mapped to the original domain the links point to subdomain.example.com instead of subdomain.com. Is there a way to fix this? Content must be available on only subdomain.com, links must point to subdomain.com only. Thanks for taking the time! This plugin really rocks!

We haven't kept up on other plugins that perform similar functions. We’ve been working with Donncha’s DM plugin & our own DM & muli-site plugin for the last couple years.

Basically, I've been using WPMU for quite a long time and at that time the only plugin I found to manage multiple domains easily was this: http://www.jerseyconnect.net/development/multisite-faq/ Since then, it always worked well: dropped in, worked. I have three domains on single install so far, with the last two added just with a click. Since I'd like to upgrade to 3.0, I was reviewing all the plugins and mu-plugins I have installed, and I've come across the Donncha's plugin, which seems to be the suggested solution. Since I already have three domains (with their related blogs) running on the same installation, I was also wondering whether or not Donncha's plugin will pick them up automatically. What do you suggest? I was hoping you have a wise advice for my situation.

I need to setup 2 different sites (both WP powered), on 2 different domains, with different look and feels (www.domainA.com and www.domainB.com) HOWEVER they need to share the same content. In other words, both sites, will be reading off the same database for content. Is the "Domain Mapping" plugin what I need to do this? Meaning, should I install each blog in a sub domain or sub folder (such as subdomain1.main.com and subdomain2.main.com) and then map each sub domain to an independent domain: subdomain1.main.com mapped to: www.domainA.com and subdomain2.main.com mapped to: www.domainB.com Based on this, is the Domain Mapping plugin what I need? if now, what plugin will help me do this? THANKS! Hi!

Case.... Have shared reseller hosting with Host Gator. Have reseller domain filmmakersvillage.com Upgraded on 6/17 to 3.0 and added domain mapping plug in on 6.18. Configured ip address (from ping of filmmakersvillage) as the domian mapping IP address. Created new domain frustratedfilmmaker.com at godaddy and left DNS as default. went into total DNS changed @A record to point to shared webhost ip address for filmmakersvillage. However browsing to frustratedfilmmaker.com does not seem to resolve to the blog and I get the hostgator parked domain advertising site. What is the magic mojo that I missed? Any help is greatly appreciated. Dan Thanks for the opportunity to clear up some confusing and hopefully get mapped domains working. Case….

The problem I am facing is that my wpmu install is setup on an addon domain on my shared hosting plan (with hostgator). The domain I want to redirect from is registered with Godaddy and I have pointed the A record to the IP listing in my hostgator cpanel. However, this resolves to the primary domain on my account and not my wpmu install. Ive even tried setting up the parked domain (without redirect) but am facing the same problem. If I setup a redirect on the parked domain it goes to the wpmu install but to the main site and not the subdomain. Please help me figure this out. Thanks! Thanks for the instructions.
