 * Hello all, I came to a situation where I need professional advice.
 * There is a WP Multisite installed on (domain.net) with two blogs:
 * domain.net/usnews (ID 2)
    domain.net/uknews (ID 4)
 * There are two subdomains pointed to this server:
 * news.otherdomain.com
    news.otherdomain.co.uk
 * This had made news.otherdomain.com AND news.otherdomain.co.uk going to domain.
   net. At this point it’s all correct.
 * Now I have installed Domain Mapping Plugin.
    Network > Settings > Domain Mapping
   Server IP set correctly. Network > Settings > Domains there is two domains added:
 * news.otherdomain.com > ID 2
    news.otherdomain.co.uk > ID 4
 * Now at this stage we have redirect going on:
    news.otherdomain.com GOES TO domain.
   net/usnews news.otherdomain.co.uk GOES TO domain.net/uknews
 * THE PROBLEM:
 * How do we make visitor stay on news.otherdomain.com? At present time news.otherdomain.
   com redirects to domain.net/usnews. We want news.otherdomain.com/post showing
   same as domain.net/usnews/post. We do not want even show that domain.net/usnews
   exists, it should be news.otherdomain.com by default.
 * How do I do this?
 * Is it down to installing kind of plugin?
    Is it down to writing .htaccess file?
   Is it down to changing url in Site settings?
 * Thank you in advance..

 * To be clear on one point, you can have EITHER news.otherdomain.com OR domain.
   net/usnews but not both.
 * If you mapped the domain correctly, it should work that way. Which plugin were
   you using to map the domain?

 * Than you very much Ipstenu for pointing to check this plug in. My fault was that
   under
 * Settings > Domains the [Primary] check box wasn’t selected. And there was issue
   with propagation.
