WP Subdomains update
There has been a delay to the latest release as this last week was a lot busier than I expected. Now it’s over and all exams are marked hopefully next week will be less hectic and I’ll get a chance to finish off the changes I’m working on and release the first version of the Category Subdomains plugin under the new name WP Subdomains. It will be released as version 0.5.1.
Current changes are:
- clean up to settings pages.
- redirecting old urls to subdomains
- bug fixes
- working on being able to remove “category” from category urls
- few other bits
Will post here as soon as it’s released.

Woderful, thanks. I’m using this plugin to have pages, not categories, as subdomains and having some troubles setting it up. I activated the plugin, added csd_page_subdomain = true to the pages (it works), and then added about.domain.com as a subdomain. How do I get the subdomain to access site root in cPanel to view the page? Can this be done via cpanel?
Thanks,
Dave
Dave,
I use Hostgator for my hosting and they use cPanel too. It seems you need to be using a particular version of the interface. Hostgator by default give you access to an older version but you can ask them to change you to version 3 and there you can easily configure the paths for your subdomains.
I think the way to check your interface version is to look at the url. Mine is
http://mydomain.com:2082/frontend/x3/index.php
note the “x3″, originally that was just “x” which is the older version. If you just have “x” then speak to your hosting provider and see if they’ll let you use the “x3″ version.
Once you’re using the “x3″ version go to the Subdomains section and there when you add your subdomains you can now specify the document root path. Just set this as the same path that your main wordpress domain points to. You can’t seem to edit the document root on the subdomains so if you want to change one you’ll need to delete it and add it again.
Hope this helps,
Alex
