# Multisite SSL Domain Mapping

 * I’m attempting to migrate a client site to SSL. I have certificates for both 
   the client and a wildcard for my domain.
 * The site is setup on multisite as a subdomain.
    client.foo.com and mapped to 
   the client’s domain client.com
 * The certs for
    *.foo.com and client.com have been installed.
 * Plugins aren’t working because some of the needed files are being loaded by links
   to the subdomain, for example:
    [https://client.foo.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css](https://client.foo.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css)
 * [https://client.foo.com](https://client.foo.com) is attempting to use the certificate
   for client.com and not for *.foo.com.
 * Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? Looks like there are two possible
   solutions.
 * 1. Force all plugins to use the mapped client.com domain to load dependent files
   rather than the original client.foo.com subdomain.
 * 2. Make the subdomain pickup the wildcard certificate instead of the certificate
   for the mapped domain.

 * How did you map the domains in the first place?

 * I use the WordPress MU Domain Mapping, which is up to date.
 * Is there another way to map domains in Multisite?

 * There are a few different ways 🙂
 * Did you set your domains to use the mapped domain as the wp-admin back end URL,
   or are they using the main site’s URL?

 * Huh, interesting. I didn’t know there were other methods of mapping.
 * I have the check mark set in the box marked
    Redirect administration pages to
   site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)
 * If I understand your question correctly, they are using the main site’s URL as
   the wp-admin back end. When I am in wp-admin the url is client.foo.com.

 * Right. That’s why.
 * Uncheck it, and don’t use remote login.
 * You need both front AND backend to be the mapped domain here.
