- Point multiple domains/sub-domains at a single WordPress installation and maintain link integrity (i.e. if you're on http://foo.com, links will be http://foo.com/bar, and if you're http://baz.com links will be http://baz.com/bar)
- Overwrite site title, description, or theme per domain
- Customize content per domain using the [MultiDomain_if] and [MultiDomain_else] shortcodes
If you need more customization between domains, WordPress MU is a better option.
- Unzip and upload to your plugins directory, or install from admin
- Activate
- Edit config.php to your liking using the admin Plugin Editor or your favorite FTP program
- Profit!
Note that you usually won't need to configure your primary domain -- MultiDomain will automatically fall back to your WordPress defaults if not configuration is present for a domain.
In config.php:
<?php
$domains = array(
array(
'domain' => 'myalternatedomain.com',
'siteurl' => 'http://myalternatedomain.com',
'home' => 'http://myalternatedomain.com'
)
);
?>
In config.php:
<?php
$domains = array(
array(
'domain' => 'example1.com',
'siteurl' => 'http://example1.com',
'home' => 'http://example1.com'
),
array(
'domain' => 'example2.com',
'siteurl' => 'http://example2.com',
'home' => 'http://example2.com',
'blogname' => 'Example 2'
),
array(
'domain' => 'example3.com',
'siteurl' => 'http://example3.com',
'home' => 'http://example3.com',
'template' => 'twentyten',
'blogname' => 'I have a different name...',
'blogdescription' => '..and description'
)
);
?>
The provided short codes let you tailor your content per domain if needed. [MultiDomain_else] and [MultiDomain_default] are identical.
[MultiDomain_if domain="example1.com"]
Content only people visiting on example1.com will see.
[/MultiDomain_if]
[MultiDomain_else]
Content anyone visiting on any other domain will see.
[/MultiDomain_else]
Normal content everyone will see.
- DRY up simple configuration (reduce redundancy between domain/home/siteurl)
- Configuration interface in admin
- rel="canonical" option for wp_head() to reduce SEO hit from duplicated content
