Create wildcard subdomain using htaccess in wordpress for different shop users

Question

I want to create wildcard sub-domains for each user shop using htaccess or any other methodology. But I don't want to create sub-domain folders.

For ex I have URL like:

https://example.com/wbb/john 

and want this URL to become

https://john.example.com

Answer 1

try this: In your DNS, set *.domain.tld to point to your server. Then in your CP set *.domain.tld to point to a folder.

Now, in notepad or something create a file named index.php, inside that file add this:

<?php
$UserSubdomain = array_shift((explode(".",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])));

if($UserSubdomain==TRUE){

    header("Location: http://example.com/wbb/$UserSubdomain");
}

else{

    header("Location: http://example.com/user-not-found");
}

Now, save the file and upload it to the folder.

This will NOT make the url be john.example.com but it will send john.example.com to http://example.com/wbb/john
