Caveats

WNM will not automatically add the domain to your server!
Your webserver must direct requests for each domain you want to use to your WordPress install’s filesystem location.
Read the FAQ if you have trouble with it or email your web host and ask them to make this one change for you.

FAQ

How do I set the domains to points at my WordPress main installtion?
Note:DNS should resolve each desired domain to your web server.

From Web Host Manager (WHM): Add a wildcard subdomain/virtual host record to your site’s DNS record in WHM .

1. Go to “Edit DNS Zone” and select the domain of your WPMU installation and click “Edit”.
2. Below “Add New Entries Below This Line”, enter in the first box (Domain) an asterisk: ”*”.
3. The second box, TTL , should be “14400”.
4. The third box should be “IN”.
5. Select A Record Type from the drop down “A”.
6. And in the last box, paste in the IP address of your website/network.

From Cpanel, click on the “Parked Domains” under the “Domains” section:

1. Under “Create a New Parked Domain” enter the domain name you want to add to your network.
2. Click the “Add Domain” button.
3. It should add the domain to the list of parked domains and under “Redirect to” it will say “not redirected”. That is OKAY .

From httpd.conf: If you have access to web server configuration, configure your web server to direct requests for each desired
domain to the same site (e.g. via `ServerAlias` directives or `Host Headers`) like this:

<VirtualHost %SERVER_IP%:80>
  DocumentRoot "%PATH_TO_WP%"  
  ServerName "mydomain.com" 
  ServerAlias "mydomain.com" "www.mydomain.com" 
</VirtualHost>

%SERVER_IP %- IP of your server
%PATH_TO_WP %- WordPress main installtion directory(e.g /home/webserver/httpd/).
mydomain.com -Your domain

Is WordPress Network Modifier right for me?

• If you run blogs on one domain with WordPress and want to run new blogs on another domain, WordPress Network Modifier can help you.
• If you want a single blog to have more than one address, it can NOT .
• If you want different VHOST policies per-domain, it can NOT .
• If you want to add hundreds of domains at a time, you would be better served by a Perl script.

Do I have the opportunity to translate the plugin?
YES ! Use the wnm.po file to translate – after you translate this file, compilate .mo file and save it in “langs” folder in the plugin directory
and name it like this: “wnm_text_domain-ru_RU.mo” where “ru_RU” is the name of your locale.
