Adding a WordPress site to another as a subdomain?

    I have two WordPress sites. One is the main site and the other site is a news site related to the main.

    I want to do something like this:

    news.maindomain.com

    Instead of the news site being newsdomain.com

    Would I be able to make the “newsdomain.com” become “news.maindomain.com” instead?

    If so, how?

    I am on a business plan, if that changes anything.

    The issue I’m coming across is this:

    I followed the WordPress help and it keeps saying

    “news.maindomain.com” is already taken.

    I don’t understand how I’m supposed to set anything up if it keeps saying it’s taken.

    Hi there,

    Yes, you can have a subdomain on your WordPress.com site. You can find out how to add a subdomain to your site here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-subdomain/

    I see that one instance of news.yourdomain.com is already added/mapped to one of your sites, so perhaps you don’t need to add it again. You can click My Site → Upgrades → Domains to see a list of domains you’ve added to a site.

    Please note your Business plan gives you access to live chat support. Feel free to go to https://wordpress.com/help/contact and send us a message there if you have more questions.
