Title: Primary mapping problem Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Primary mapping problem * [Jeanae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanae/) * (@jeanae) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/primary-mapping-problem/) * Hi * I have setup MU Domain Mapping for a WP Multisite with 4 languages – [http://www.studienstiftung.ch](http://www.studienstiftung.ch): german – [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/fr](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/fr): french – [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/it](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/it): italien – [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en): english * For some of it I want to map it to more specific URLs, e.g. [http://www.studyfoundation.ch](http://www.studyfoundation.ch) to [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en). * The problem: As soon as I define the domain as primary I get an ‘infinite redirects’ error in the browser (Firefox and others). Without primary it goes to the right place. * Anay suggestions how to solve the issue. * Best regards Jean * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Ron Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmuguru/) * (@wpmuguru) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/primary-mapping-problem/#post-5372550) * You can only map domains with the plugin. Mapping URLs is not supported by the plugin or DNS. * Thread Starter [Jeanae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanae/) * (@jeanae) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/primary-mapping-problem/#post-5372566) * In this case [http://www.studyfoundation.ch](http://www.studyfoundation.ch) is a registered domain. It already points to [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en) without your plugin. Could this be the problem? * Plugin Author [Ron Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmuguru/) * (@wpmuguru) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/primary-mapping-problem/#post-5372607) * > In this case [http://www.studyfoundation.ch](http://www.studyfoundation.ch) > is a registered domain.

The mapping seems to work now correctly. But I can’t access the subpages of the site. E.g. [http://www.studyfoundation.ch/partners](http://www.studyfoundation.ch/partners)( previously [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en/partners](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en/partners)) goes to “Not Found The requested URL /partners/ was not found on this server.” What can causing this?

You need to add some rewrite rules to your .htaccess to rewrite the old urls to the new ones. * Thread Starter [Jeanae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanae/) * (@jeanae) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/primary-mapping-problem/#post-5372682) * Any advise on how to change this .htaccess from the old url [http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en](http://www.studienstiftung.ch/en) to the new url [http://www.studyfoundation.ch](http://www.studyfoundation.ch) is highly welcome: * # WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp- admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}- d RewriteRule ^ – [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php[ L] # Media Library php_value upload_max_filesize 64M php_value post_max_size 64M php_value max_execution_time 300 php_value max_input_time 300 # Disallow access to important files Order deny,allow Deny from all # Prevent Directory Listings Options -Indexes Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Primary mapping problem’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping.svg) * [WordPress MU Domain Mapping](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/reviews/) ## Tags * [infinite redirect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/infinite-redirect/) * [mapping](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/mapping/) * [multsite](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/multsite/) * 6 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Jeanae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanae/) * Last activity: [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/primary-mapping-problem/#post-5372682) * Status: not resolved
