  Hi, I am super-admin of a multisite installation. I wanted to map a domain I own (irsi2016.de) to one of the subdomains within our multisite environment (such that if someone calls the irsi2016 domain, he or she will be redirected to the multisite subdomain). So, I installed the MU domain mapping plugin, but the opposite of what I wanted to do happened: The subdomain is now mapped to irsi2016.de and I cannot reverse it. On the network admin page, I deleted the respective entry under Settings/Domains, but the mapping is still there. Also tried deleting sunrise.php and the line “define( ‘SUNRISE’, ‘on’ );” in wp-config.php. Nothing happens, the domain mapping just seems irreversible. What can I do?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi rationality2016,

  I am super-admin of a multisite installation.

  Can you confirm the URL of the site you are working on?

  Thanks!

  ok, I think I just solved it myself by network deactivating the plugin. I have no idea why I did not have this option before.

  Hi rationality2016,

  Glad you’ve been able to get it sorted.

  irsi-school.de is a WordPress.org site hosted by Strato (rather than WordPress.com). We have some information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in this guide:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  We are only able to help with WordPress.com sites here. However, these forums are a great place for getting advice and tips for self hosted sites:

  I hope this helps :)
