Problem with subdomain

  • I use hosting with limit for subdomains. Subdomains is creating from hosting control panel, and when I create new blog from BP, subdomains don’t work. Is there any solution or I have to change hosting provider?

  • Use the subdirectory option when installing WPMU.

    Or, enable wildcard DNS support if your host allows that.

    since subdomains are recommended, is there a way to switch to subdirectories afterwards, thereby creating.

    community.domainname.org/userblog/

    instead of

    userblog.community.domainname.org

    Best,

    In youre wordpress mu, there’s a part of VHOSTS, you can set that to “NO”. So you get a directory based setup. And if you set it to “YES” then you get a subdomain setup.

    The last thing needs a DNS wildcard in youre host his DNS setup.

    And in the Apache configuration add the following line in virtual domain setting:

    ServerAlias *.youre-domain.com

    But most webhosting companies dont allowed you to do so, so i suggest that you will use a directory based setup ;-)

    Suc6!

    The directory-based setup, installed into the root directory of subdomain.domain.org, ran into a redirect loop error (WP MU issue), and I unfortunately see no way to install buddypress right now because of it.

    I was installing by following the instructions here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypres-from-combo/ exactly.

    I really don’t know how it happened, but I forgot to create a new database, and I started the sequence from the beginning, and it worked (over an existing DB).
