# 'Map' a subdirectory?

 * I have WordPress Network at domain.tld using sub-domains option.
    I’ve created
   a sub-site test.domain.tld
 * At this point I want this sub-site to be available as otherdomain.tld/blog
 * Is this possible? I know about domain mapping, but it’ll only allow me to map
   either otherdomain.tld or blog.otherdomain.tld to my test.domain.tld
 * Is there any way (domain mapping, DNS tricks, some rewrites) that will allow 
   me to map otherdomain.tld/blog ?

 * No, but that’s because of how the web works.
 * You can map a subdomain or a subfolder, but you can’t map TO a subfolder.

 * Thanks for explaining.
 * However, you’re saying
 * > You can map a subdomain or a subfolder
 * . Isn’t it what I’m trying to do? I want to map a subfolder (of another domain
   name though) to the sub-site.

 * No, but I get why you’re confused 😉
 * You’re trying to do this:
 * Map domain.com/FOLDER to sub.domain.com, so what people see is domain.com/folder
   and NOT sub.domain.com
 * You can go the other way, but you can’t have people end up at domain.com/folder.
