I found a simple plugin that did the job for me. This is what my .htaccess file looks like now for my sub-domain: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # BEGIN WordPress #RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php … Read more
There’s a couple of different ways that might work, but both rely on using Apache/NGINX directives. Method 1 Setup WordPress MS at mydomain.com, create an admin.mydomain.com site and then redirect mydomain.com to admin.mydomain.com. All additional sites would naturally be subdomains to mydomain.com. Method 2 This is basically the inverse of Method 1. You should be … Read more
The $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] global will usually contain the domain/subdomain to which the current request was sent, but with a few caveats. In the context of a web request, the variable is set at the discretion of the web server and proxies, and Apache/Nginx may not pass that header along depending on their configuration – or may … Read more
You don’t appear to have allowed .htaccess overrides in the <VirtualHost *:443> container, so .htaccess is effectively disabled. Without .htaccess you’ll naturally get 404s for anything other than the homepage if you are using “pretty” permalinks. (.htaccess is not required for requests to the homepage, since index.php is served by mod_dir which is no doubt … Read more

You can dynamically update the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL constants in wp-config.php to reflect the requested host: define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[ ‘HTTP_HOST’ ] ); define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[ ‘HTTP_HOST’ ] ); As long as visitors don’t click a link containing a different fully-qualified domain (or otherwise send a request to a different subdomain via … Read more
Yes, this is possible (see https://wordpress.org/support/article/create-a-network/). For sub-domains you’ll need to confirm that your DNS has a wildcard entry for your domain. So, based on your root domain, this would work for: mysub1.multisiteroot.com, mysub2.multisiteroot.com, etc. If you wanted to us different domain names for subsites, then you’d need to have those domain names point to … Read more
Can you use a custom menu (Appearance -> Menus) ? If so, just create a custom link and insert it where desired. This has the added benefit of not cluttering your list of pages with a page that isn’t real.
