Title: Mapping HTTP domain from HTTPS parent host Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Mapping HTTP domain from HTTPS parent host * [mbay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbay/) * (@mbay) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/) * Hello, * I have used “WordPress MU Domain Mapping” on a non-SSL multi-site WordPress installation, and it worked great – thank you! This time, I created a multi-site installation that is HTTPS, and would like to add a “http” domain; when doing so, I receive a warning displaying the link from the HTTPS domain. * I read this thread ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/mix-http-and-https-sites?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/mix-http-and-https-sites?replies=6)) and installed the plug-in found at [@frett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frett/)’ s link, but the dashboard for an individual “site” does not load correctly. * Will there be an eventual “official” support for both mixed HTTPS and HTTP? * Thank You in advance! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Action Turtle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjaminbernard/) * (@benjaminbernard) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074087) * I too am curious about this… * I have a wild card cert for my WP network (which is where the admins would log in) so thats HTTPS but then I would like the mapped domain that normal users go to be HTTP… * Maybe this would be easy with using a 301 redirect from http to https for the admin? * Thanks * [Action Turtle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjaminbernard/) * (@benjaminbernard) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074115) * It seems this works out of the box with the subdomains… * But when I map the domains… If I click the admin bar to go see the site it takes me there but if I click the admin bar to come back my browser goes crazy with https security warnings and I have to get to the backed through the login again… * I am using the force SSL function in wp config file… * Thanks (work around I am using for now is to use two browsers… one that has the front end of the site and the other that has the backend https that way I can make a change on the back and see how it looks on the front… Would be really nice to just click the top tab tho 😉 * Thanks for any help… * Thread Starter [mbay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbay/) * (@mbay) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074116) * Hi Action Turtle, * thank you for the update; I’m hoping the developer will give input on this. * Plugin Author [Ron Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmuguru/) * (@wpmuguru) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074120) * > Will there be an eventual “official” support for both mixed HTTPS and HTTP? * Eventually domain mapping is going to be rolled into core. * Thread Starter [mbay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbay/) * (@mbay) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074121) * Hello Ron Rennick, * thank you for the input; in light of this, is there a work-a-round? * [Action Turtle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjaminbernard/) * (@benjaminbernard) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074122) * Oh Happy Days!!! It makes so much sense and will probably solve everyone problems * Any idea when this might be? * As for now I can’t get a clear answer on this… Does google index the mapped domain or my subdomain? Like its a deal breaker if the URL under the google results is my subdomain… I want to make sure its the mapped domain… * This seems very important for SEO especially as we move into domain mapping being done in core wp… That way none of my sites loose rank even though I am changing backed end stuff… * Thanks! * [@mbay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbay/) – I listed a work around… Just use two browsers and you won’t evoke the https problem… * Thread Starter [mbay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbay/) * (@mbay) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mapping-http-domain-from-https-parent-host/#post-5074123) * [@action](https://wordpress.org/support/users/action/) Turtle – great question about SEO! I too would be interested to know. * Thank You in regards to the work-a-round; I did see that when I read your post earlier – I appreciated the inpt! – although I would, as you said, hope to be able to click on the top tab. Hopefully this will be possible in the short term!
