    Hi! Thanks for any help in advance 🙂

    I have a WordPress Multisite installation on a Godaddy VPS and the basic set up looks like this –

    http://multisitedomain.com/site1/
    http://multisitedomain.com/site2/

    and so on.

    Now I want site1.com to be mapped to multisitedomain.com/site1/ and I have set up Domain Mapping using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin.

    The problem I have is when I go to site1.com in my browser, the URL changes to multisitedomain.com/site1/ – so the domain mapping is working fine, but is there any setting I have overlooked to ensure that the URL doesn’t change?

    Hey! I just got it working. It was a simple setting in the Network Domain Mapping Configuration.

    Go to Network Admin -> Dashboard -> Settings -> Domain Mapping

    Under Domain Options, you see point 5, Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues.

    I selected that, so that logically means, the URL will now NOT redirect to the main domain. Save and clear your cache and cookies, and everything should work!
