Wordpress Multisite on Hosted Server
I’m close to making this work but I don’t quite have it figured out. What is that final step in CPanel that I'm missing?
1) I have a WP blog for xxx.com that resolves to xxx.maindomain.com.
2) I have an existing site on the same hosted plan for me.me that resolves to me.maindomain.com. I want this to be a WP site and would like to use a common code base, a multisite setup.
3) I setup Wordpress 4.4.1 for multisite so I can run me.me on the same code as xxx.com. I seem to have the setup working fine according to various advice online. wp-config and htaccess are modified per instructions all over the Web and I used the code given to me during multisite setup.
4) In CPanel I created a wildcard subdomain *.xxx.maindomain.com. IMH and other sources said to do this but I have no idea why.
5) In the Subdomains panel I redirected me.maindomain.com to me.xxx.maindomain.com and now the url says me.xxx.com. I want me.com.
6) In Wordpress Network Sites I have xxx.com and me.xxx.com. When I put me.xxx.com in a browser it can’t find the server it should have propagated the DNS servers by now.
I think I’m missing the step to point me.me to me.xxx.com but display jimpreston.me in the browser url. Thoughts appreciated!
