WP Plugin: Same level subdomains for multisites

, _(*2)

This WordPress multisite plugin allows you to create subsites under the same subdomain depth as the main site., _(*3)

Example use case

We needed to create subdomain multisite which uses only subdomains under *.client.com and nothing else. In this case client.com domain was simultaneously used elsewhere for non-WordPress site so that couldn't be the domain of the main site., _(*4)

We created this plugin in order to use admin.client.com as the main site and site1.client.com, site2.client.com for the subsites respectively., _(*5)

Installation

$ composer require devgeniem/wp-multisite-same-level-subdomains

Configuration

We recommend installing this plugin with composer or dropping it the plugin directory into your mu-plugins directory., _(*6)

Then create a wp-content/sunrise.php file with the following:, _(*7)

<?php
// Default mu-plugins directory if you haven't set it
defined( 'WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR' ) or define( 'WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/mu-plugins' );

require WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . '/wp-multisite-same-level-subdomains/wp-multisite-same-level-subdomains.php';

Additionally, in order for sunrise.php to be loaded, you must add the following to your wp-config.php:, _(*8)

define( 'SUNRISE', true );

Finally add your preferred domain into your wp-config.php:, _(*9)

define( 'MULTISITE_SAME_LEVEL_SUBDOMAINS', true );

Variables

This forces all created sites to be in the same subdomain as the main site:, _(*10)

define( 'MULTISITE_SAME_LEVEL_SUBDOMAINS', true );
