Domain mapping made easy
Posted by andrea in Oh, I have awesome news for you on this dreary Monday. Donncha has released the long-awaited domain mapping plugin for wordpress MU.
I do feel compelled to note though, that you could always do this if you were willing to muck around in the database a bit. 
Please note that this is an early development release. It works much like the domain mapping feature at Wordpress.com, but there is no payment integration. It just does what it says on the tin, maps a domain to a sub-blog so the member blog has their own domain. Please see Donncha’s post above for more details.
Get the domain mapping plugin from here.
I’ve been testing this out and it works decently. The only thing you might have to remember is if you are the one doing it, make sure you are in the sub-blog’s backend before you map the domain. Otherwise, you could have the wrong domain pointing at your main blog, which can’t be good.
(Not that I know anything about that. This is just in theory. You believe me, right? 
)
This plugin has also been entered in the WordPress MU plugin contest. There’s some great prizes and not a lot of entries so far, so get coding! The more entries, the better it works out for all of us.

Yes, it is, and it works.
I am very proud of you for your plug in. Congratulations!

I need help with Domain Mapping.
I installed, and edited wp-config.
I have blog.pb.com, I pointed new.com’s nameservers to my pb.com nameservers went to the blog.pb.com/wp-admin and then manage and domain mapping. I entered new.com into the add box and pressed add then pressed visit site. At that point I was redirected to what looked like a domain parking site named new.com.
I believe that the problem it that I have a shared account (yes, I will have to upgrade at some point…..I will do it through your site when I do) Anything I am doing wrong….or not telling you?
Tutorial?
Oh, and I did check out the forums, but I have been unable to find what I have wanted on there many times before, but I will definitely accept a slap on the search wrist and a link to a walk through.
Again, thanks……….and sorry.
