Setting Up My New Domain To My Existing Wordpress Setup
Currently all my domains are pointing and sharing to the same installed wordpress. It make my life much easier if I need to upgrade to the latest wordpress release version as I just need to replace one set of wordpress. It also keeps my hosting size minimum and no multiple editing needed for each of my domains.
How do I do it?
If you are using the “DirectAdmin” configurations panel, you just need to click the “Domain Pointers” link under the “Advanced Features” tab. Type in your new domain and add the new domain as an “Alias” to your current domain.
Now go to your domain registrar website and point the domain address to your hosting ip address.
Lastly you need to do some else-if statement in your “wp-config.php” file to forward it to the correct database.
