 * Where is this located?
 * Referring to Otto’s explanation at [http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/](http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/)
 * I am very confused. I got through Step 3 and left only 2 and 3 checked (even 
   though there are 5 options that I have, not 4).
 * Step 4: Mapping the Domain makes no sense to me whatsoever. I cannot find anywhere
   in the site anything that resembles the image shown above ([http://ottopress.com/files/2010/06/domainmapping5.png](http://ottopress.com/files/2010/06/domainmapping5.png)).
 * I want users to be able to use their own domain names, what’s more important;
   to make sure they are using the correct IP or a CNAME. I must be a total idiot
   because this part makes no sense to me.

 * It took me a bit to figure out where Step 4 is now located… if you go into the
   admin area of the subdomain in question, you should find it under this link: 
   subdomain.yoursite.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=domainmapping&updated=primary
 * I’m still trying to make this plugin work on my site since yesterday, so can’t
   help with the other Qs, sorry.

 * Anyone got any idea, why my long, detalied answer to this question has been deleted
   by someone? I spent over a half hour explaining everything to the asker and now
   it is lost! 😐
 * I have a copy of this, but won’t put it here again, if there is someone who don’t
   like it and is willing to delete my perfectly legitime answer.

 * Hey trejder,
    I would say the obvious answer is that Otto didn’t like you pointing
   out his failings and because he is on such a power trip, he took your post down.

 * Well… I don’t know if Otto himself or someone else did delete my post. But, whoever
   did it, must strongly misunderstood reasons for which he got moderator or adminstrator
   rights. As far as I know these rights are not for deleting perfectly correct 
   answer, just because someone got a bad day.
 * Any reasonable person understands that two and a half year old post must be outdated.
   That’s quite a long time in IT area. There was a 3.0 release candidate version
   of WordPress at a time, Otto wrote his guide. Now, we have 3.4.2. Of course it
   is much easier to delete someone’s post than to update own blog. The funny thing
   is, that I haven’t wrote much criticism aganist his post. Actually I was more
   critic to people, who follows his guide, not seeing that it is a bit outdated.
 * Anyway, if you still have problems with WordPress and wasn’t unable to read my
   reply, contact me privately via PM and I’ll send you copy of my resolution. Cheers.

 * All of the moderators have the permissions to remove posts. Everyone who answers
   threads here does so as a volunteer. Having said that, I did not see your post
   so I don’t know why it might have been removed.

 * moderators can see ghosts of deleted posts. I cannot see any indication of any
   deleted posts on this topic.
