Title: Using a subdomain Last modified: July 28, 2022 --- # Using a subdomain * [ronanwni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronanwni/) * (@ronanwni) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-subdomain/) * Hi there, * Does your plugin work with subdomains? * So if I wanted to map test.armagh.space to [https://www.armagh.space/test-page-subdomain](https://www.armagh.space/test-page-subdomain), should that work? * I have set up an “A Record” to point the test.armagh.space to the same IP where armagh.space is hosted and added the subdomain in to the hosting control panel( Plesk): [https://i.gyazo.com/a88c59985708e9b6f8612008e99398fb.png](https://i.gyazo.com/a88c59985708e9b6f8612008e99398fb.png) * I have then done the following (screenshot below) within your plugin on armagh. space, but no luck.

I’ve just noticed at step 2 it says the sub domain needs to be pointed to the same root directory as the WordPress website, so within the Plesk control panel I changed the sub domain from “No web hosting” to “Web hosting”. * This then allowed me to select the home directory, which I then selected to be the folder where the WordPress website is located which seems to have helped. * I then deleted the mapping I had set up within your plugin so I could do the test.txt file test, which worked perfectly. I could view the txt file on both the main domain and sub domain. * I then put the mapping back in to your plugin. Now when you go to test.armagh. space, it redirects to [https://test.armagh.space/test-page-subdomain](https://test.armagh.space/test-page-subdomain) which is just a 404 page. * I need that when you go to test.armagh.space it just displays the [https://www.armagh.space/test-page-subdomain](https://www.armagh.space/test-page-subdomain) page but keeps the test.armagh.space url in the address bar. * Have I perhaps set up your plugin incorrectly? Please see screenshot below.

I renamed the slug to “try-page-subdomain” and now when I now go to test.armagh.space, it just redirects to [https://test.armagh.space/try-page-subdomain](https://test.armagh.space/try-page-subdomain) with a 404 error. * Thanks * Thread Starter [ronanwni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronanwni/) * (@ronanwni) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-subdomain/#post-15876384) * [@matthiaswagner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthiaswagner/) – Any ideas on how to fix this? * Thanks * Plugin Author [matthias.wagner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthiaswagner/) * (@matthiaswagner) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-subdomain/#post-15876552) * hy, in some rare cases this happens. unfortunately we have not yet figured out what causes this behaviour :/ * please have a look at this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-of-the-domains-i-mapped-301-redirects-to-main-homepage-domain/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-of-the-domains-i-mapped-301-redirects-to-main-homepage-domain/) * you can try the steps discussed there too. * in the end that user made a switch to another plugin “domain mapping system”. we can also recommend it and have already partnered with that other plugin. so if you like it and maybe want to use the premium version, you could also get a voucher from me for discount. * matt Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Using a subdomain’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/assets/icon-256x256. png?rev=1595238) * [Multiple Domain Mapping on Single Site](https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/multiple-domain-mapping-on-single-site/reviews/) * 6 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [matthias.wagner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthiaswagner/) * Last activity: [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-subdomain/#post-15876552) * Status: not resolved
