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 Dave,

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,

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 Woderful, thanks.
