WordPress Multisite Domain/URL Issue Resolved

In my previous post, I lamented over how my personal blog didn’t resolve to “www.melodieshouse.com” except for the home page, yet this website does, and they’re both under the same WordPress Multisite implementation. Well, I went back in the Super Admin settings and figured it out.

In standalone WordPress, you set the WordPress URL and Site URL in the Dashboard under Settings–>General. In multisite these are not there, but you set your site options for each site under Super Admin–>Sites. Find the site you want to configure, hover over it’s name/link and click “Edit.” Scroll down to “Site options (wp_x_options),” find “Siteurl” and “Home” and make sure the URL in each is set to “http://www.whateveryourdomainis.com.” This site was setup properly but I missed changing the URL for Melodie’s House. When I changed both of those lines to “http://www.melodieshouse.com” then all posts and pages in my blog linked correctly instead of redirecting to the master domain.

    Hi

    I have a similar issue. But the name I want to change is that of the base site. The Siteurl and Home options on the Settings tab of the site are disabled. Any idea how I can change them?

    Thanks.
