Multisite Wordpress DNS Records

Question

I'm setting up a webshop at example.nl and I have bought another domain (example.com) which I intend to use for the English version of my webshop. I've set up a wordpress multisite to accomplish this, but I'm stuck. My goal is to set up as follows: NL = example.nl, EN = example.com, DE = example.com/de/. Right now the international websites, nor their wordpress dashboards are accessible, I think this has to do with the DNS records. What should I change in order to make this work?

Answer 1

You can choose different URL formats when building a multilingual website.

1. ccTLDs: Country Code top-level Domains example.es (Spain) example.de (Germany)

2. gTLDs: Subdomains with generic top-level domains es.example.com it.example.org

3. gTLDs: Subdirectories with Generic top-level domains example.com/es/ example.com/en/

You need to use plugins like WPML and Wordpress MU Domain Mapping .

WPML Multi Domain Setting

Worpress MU Domain Mapping

Earlier in 2016, I used subdomain format for my categories: example.com/category/food output was like; food.example.com and it was a successful implementation with wp plugn+dns,wildcard settings.
