Ok, when I setup this network of sites that you are currently viewing I based it off of a domain/subdomain system. It very well may still be that way, I dont even know anymore.
I set that up as a multisite wordpress so that I can have http://photography.infocusinspection.com as a subdomain sharing the same WP database. I want to have the link “http://www.infocushomephotography.com” show the content that is parked at that sub domain. For the fucking life of me I can’t remember how to do this.
Right now the www site is redirecting to the top level domain site, which appears to be the main site for the business. I don’t see any content parked at the subdomain. You COULD re-direct the www to the subdomain though.
Personally, it doesn’t really make much sense to me, to have a site with multiple subdomains… Or separate sites at all for that matter. Wouldn’t you want to put the photos within the main site?
BUT, ANYWHO, with most hosts you want to have your domain name pointed at the correct sub-directory in CPanel. For example, on my hosting site I have two sites, autumnglowdesign.com and ncwakelife.com. Each of those is directed at a seperate sub-directory in public_html
Just understand that with wordpress, it’s ill-advised to have 2 URLs for the same site. Some links will get stored in the WP database, and so sometimes when a user clicks a link or a page loads some content, it might pull it from the original URL. Which is why, again, I think your setup is a little too convoluted. Just my opinion, but that’s my experience with WordCrap.
I don’t need or want separate databases. Word press multi site is designed for this. I have 6 new domains I need to have individual sites for. I don’t need 6 redundant databases with 6 control panels when I can do it all in one place.
Yeah, I guess that’s fine. I prefer seperation though, because if you need to migrate a site off or do something with it, it’s easier to have it compartmentalized. If it works for you, then keep doing that by all means.
Sorry, I made some edits above. I don’t mean to criticize how you’re doing it. Just providing food for thought.
No worries, thanks for the update. I think I have to do that and a cname record.
I may not have explained well enough, these are all separate arms of a holding company. We arencourage building individual companies all under a parent. They will share no like content and are only related by name and holding. Each business will engage in its own activities and not tie too much to the other outside of marketing.
I will hash some of this out after dinner and post an update.
At the end of the day, word press made this super easy and now all I need to do is build the pages and content.
I was looking at it from a backend approach and really it works straight from their multi site admin pages. They just don’t provide any “official” documentation on how to take advantage of the feature.
