On a WordPress Network site, using a Subdirectories (path-based) install for sub sites, this plugin adds an option in to quickly Domain Map the Subdirectory site as a subdomain of the network.
== Description ==
On a [WordPress Network](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network) site, using a Subdirectories (path-based) install for sub sites, this plugin adds an option in **Network » Sites » Add New Site** to quickly [Domain Map](https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-multisite-domain-mapping/) the Subdirectory site as a subdomain of the network.
For example, if you create the subdirectory site `example.com/siteone/`, when the new option selected, after the form is submitted and the site created, the site will be mapped to the subdomain by:
Setting the `home` and `siteurl` values to `http://siteone.example.com`:
```
+-----------+-------------+----------------------------+----------+
| option_id | option_name | option_value | autoload |
+-----------+-------------+----------------------------+----------+
| 2 | home | http://siteone.example.com | yes |
| 1 | siteurl | http://siteone.example.com | yes |
+-----------+-------------+----------------------------+----------+
```
And setting the `domain` column of `wp_blogs` to `siteone.example.com` and adjusting the `path` as needed:
```
+---------+---------------------+------+
| blog_id | domain | path |
+---------+---------------------+------+
| 2 | siteone.example.com | / |
+---------+---------------------+------+
```
_Why_? Because some hosts do not allow WordPress networks as Subdomain installs, only Subdirectories. This plugin helps create a sort of pseudo Subdomain Network, quickly mapping the new site.
These domains will only work out-of-the box if you've set wild card sub domains, or set the subdomains A records before hand. For more information please [see this page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network) or contact your hosting provider.
== Installation ==
The plugin should either be installed as a mu-plugin or network activated. It's a network plugin and therefore cannot be activated on individual sites on the network.
1. Ensure your site is a [WordPress Network setup](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
1. The network must be a subdirectories insteall, not a subdomain install
1. Upload `/pseudo-subdomain-network/` to `/wp-content/mu-plugins/` or `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. If uploaded to the latter, activate the plugin through the 'Network » Plugins' menu in WordPress
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
### Is a multisite setup the same as a network? ###
Yes. The verbiage is interchangeable.
### Does this plugin work when `SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL` is true? ###
No. This plugin only works when the network is a Subdirectories install.

1. The field added to the `Network » Sites » Add New Site` form.
