MU Domain Mapping

This plugin allows users of a WordPress MU site or WordPress 3.0 network to map their blog/site to another domain. It requires manual installation as one file must be copied to wp-content/. When upgrading the plugin, remember to update domain_mapping.php and sunrise.php. Full instructions are on the Installation page and are quite easy to follow. You should also read this page too. Super administrators must configure the plugin in Super Admin->Domain Mapping. You may also define a CNAME on this page. Your users should go to Tools->Domain Mapping where they can add or delete domains. The login page will almost always redirect back to the blog's original domain for login to ensure the user is logged in on the original network as well as the domain mapped one. Super admins can now choose to either allow users to setup DNS ANAME records by supplying an IP (or list of IP addresses) or set a CNAME but not both (entering a CNAME for the end user voids the use of IP's) Things to remember:

Migrating Multiple Blogs into WordPress 3.0 Multisite Migrating Multiple Blogs into WordPress 3.0 Multisite Languages: English • 日本語 • (Add your language) Since Version 3.0, WordPress includes new multisite features, meaning that it can run many blogs, even with their own separate domains, on one WordPress installation.

Easily Monitor and Manage all of your WordPress Sites with WP Remote Wordpress 3 network/multi-site So has anyone put together a step-by-step on how to set up multisite on Dreamhost? I've chatted with two support types who didn't have a clue, saying DH didn't support third-party software and that DH didn't have an opinion on which configuration (subdomain or subdirectory) to use. All they were sure of was that a VPS configuration was REQUIRED -- although they couldn't say why. But what I'm actually looking for is a procedure to follow that has worked for a few people. (from the wiki: Networks If you enable Networking (Multi-blogs) in WordPress 3.0, be aware that Dreamhost adds 4 lines to the end of the wp-config.php file, which cause problems creating your individual blogs in the network. $server = DB_HOST; $loginsql = DB_USER; $passsql = DB_PASSWORD; $base = DB_NAME; After installing the new blog(s), you should probably uncomment those lines, as they may (or may not be) be associated with automatic upgrades in the Dreamhost panel. ) What I'm guessing, but it is just a guess: 1.

The Best Wordpress Plugins Advertisement WordPress is the most widely used and adaptable content management system out there, but you’re probably going to want some plugins to make it just right for your needs. Here, I’ve collated what I think are the best plugins – both from experience, and community recommendations.
