Multisite Blog Alias


Thanks for sharing! Works like a charm!


Just works!


This let me do exactly what I needed to do in the most ideal/streamlined/WordPress-integrated way I could imagine it being implemented (it can be so annoying when plugins create their own admin page layout, tables, tabs, styles, etc. when they could've/should've just used what WordPress offers for those as standard, like this plugin has done.) It's flexible depending on certain needs & even has WP-CLI commands without having feature creep of stuff that's unrelated to this plugin's core goal (also on GitHub and doesn't have any ads/promos/upgrades like other plugins.) Even the "Check Status" tool when viewing a site's domain alias(es) is capable (checks many different possible situations [great to see the whatsmydns.net mention for if/when a DNS change might be needed]) yet concise to then be addressed swiftly.



I simply network-enabled the plugin, edited the site details to add the Alias Domain(s), and it worked! This plugin really checked off every box to have this be a top-recommended plugin for this (now more people just need to find out about this & use it instead of hard-coding redirects/rewrites or using plugins that, simply put, aren't as nice as this one. Honestly, this seems like a go-to if/when a WordPress multi-site network has a site on it that wants to use "www." as the primary domain of the site while then not including "www." has WordPress wanting to show either the "register a site" or "you cannot register a site here" since it's considered as a different subdomain & therefore a different site (even though a site that doesn't want to use "www." still resolves properly when that is provided in the URL)... maybe WordPress core will make that no longer needing to be manually accommodated, but this is now my favored way to handle this (replacing rewrites/redirects [especially if/when on nginx or some other hosting setup that might be more restrictive where WordPress should probably just handle it.])



Even the "Donate to this plugin" link for this plugin's details on WP.org is currently going to UN Refugees instead of themselves. This plugin has really earned its praise.


Feature Complete yet Simple to Use (Great for WP Multi-Site Network "www.")

Domain Check
Domain Check allows you to see what domains and SSL certificates are coming up for expiration and to quickly locate the coupons, coupon codes, and deals from your favorite sites before renewing. Add any email addresses and have multiple people get alerts for upcoming domain renewals or SSL certificate expiration. You can also search for new domain names with the domain checker using hundreds of supported extensions and even check if your SSL certificates are working on a number of sites. All this plus bulk importing makes Domain Check the best domain management tool for your domain portfolio.
Your Domains
Marking a domain as Owned will show it within the Your Domains section. This is used to easily filter out the domain names within Domain Check that you own. You can use this section to easily filter your own domains and add expiration notifications and domain expiration alerts to all of your domains. Searching a domain from the Your Domains section will automatically mark it as Owned. Its also the perfect for anyone using domain mapping to keep track of their domains.
Domain Search
Domain Search is where you can search the availability of domain names just like any other domain checker and see a history of your past domain name searches. Search any of the available domain extensions and TLDs within Domain Check, mark domains as Owned or Taken and set a domain expiration notification for a domain. You can easily click from any search result to see other domains available with the name name but a different domain extension.
Domain Watch
Domain Watch lets you see at a glance which domains you’ve set up domain expiration alerts for and allows you to view at a glance when your domains are expiring. You can see domains that are Owned or Taken allowing you to monitor other domains you may want backorder to keep track of expiration dates on.
SSL Check
SSL Check is where you can search to see the status of your SSL certificates and check if your current SSL certificates are valid. See all your previous SSL checks easily so you can keep checking all your certificates and mark any of them as needing SSL expirtation notification alerts. See at a glance which SSL certificates are valid and which sites are not secure.
SSL Expiration Alerts
SSL Expiration Alerts allow you to monitor your SSL certificates and send out SSL certificate expiration notifications and alerts. All of the SSL certificates and domains you are monitoring are seen in this SSL Expiration Alerts list and you can refresh or remove any SSL certificate at any time.
Import / Export
Import / Export is how you get your domain names and SSL certificates in to Domain Check. You can use any CSV or XML outputs from your domain registrar or even just highlight you entire list of domains and copy and paste. Domain Check will find any domain names within the CSV, XML, or copy and pasted text and allow you to bulk import your domain names. You can also bulk import SSL certificate URLs and mark any bulk imports to set all domains or SSL certificates to have expiration alerts. This is also a great bulk domain checker.
Settings
Like most plugins Domain Check allows you to adjust certain settings within the plugin to help you stay on top your domains and domain names.
Coupons & Deals
The Coupons and Deals section of the plugin is where you can view all of the coupons or deals from major domain registrars, SSL certificate providers, and hosting companies. Refresh the coupons to get the most up to date daily coupon codes.
Services & APIs Used
The plugin uses some data and services for free through calls to URLs & APIs at the domain <a href="http://domaincheckplugin.com" rel="nofollow ugc">domaincheckplugin.com</a>.
