I just followed the steps on wp 3.3.1 and sites worked properly. But when i go to “My Sites > Network Admin > Sites” form the backend it does not show the new site added.

So how do I edit the new site just added ?

Your server needs to know that all those domains are mapped to the same vhost, WordPress then deals with the rest.

Also, if you’re having to ask this sort of question then the above probably isn’t what you need – look for domain mapping plugins instead.

Erm – that’s not really relevant to the feature. Duplicate content is duplicate content, so that’ll always be a problem – running multiple domains in this way is a different thing.

Quick update for WordPress 3.3.1 -

I followed the steps in the original post, but was only able to load the home page of my secondary domain. As soon as I navigated to a sub-page, it would redirect back to the primary (original) domain, and load the wrong site. My permalink structure is as follows: ‘/page-name-here/’, (not the WP default of ‘/?p=xyz’)

To solve this I had to make a change to the wp-config.php.

Most people will have the following line in their wp-config.php file:

define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.yourdomainhere.com’ );

For the steps above to work, I found that this line needs to be commented out. If left in, it will override the database check WP does when loading the site and you’ll always be redirected back to the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE. I don’t know if this wasn’t part of WordPress 3.0, but it certainly drove me crazy in 3.3.1

Just thought I’d share in case anybody else if having this problem.
