The answer provided on that other link you included is actually the spot-on correct answer here too. It goes into more detail, but I will summarize here. What you want to … Read more
This code will allow you to set a custom meta value, and if the domain name (or subdomain if you edit the code) matches it, the query will be changed to match that post. The page template will only be used for that request, not for requests via the “normal” URL. This does not change … Read more
I tracked the function calls in my theme (a child theme of Oenology by Chip Bennett) and wp-include that generate the links, found the home_url() function, and then wrote these functions for my site: function gregory_make_relative($url=””) { return preg_replace( ‘#^https?://[^/]+/#iu’, “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”, $url, 1 ); } add_filter( ‘home_url’, ‘gregory_make_relative’, 11, 1 ); I intentionally grep-searched to … Read more
As far as I know, Multi-Domains from WPMUDEV is the only plugin which works flawlessly with the lastest version of WordPress.

WordPress and some themes store configurations and URLs in serialized data, and the Search & Replace plugin does not handle those to correctly change a domain in the database. And don’t use simple SQL change queries in the database via adminer or phpmyadmin. A simple SQL query won’t correctly handle serialized data. See Moving WordPress … Read more

Only certain links are updated to use https:// that too, without any subdomain part. Any hardcoded links would remain … Read more
You may be able to use WordPress MU Domain Mapping Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/ But, isn’t this a bad idea from a search engine perspective? Multiple domains each with the same content?
