  I created a sub-domain (http://sales.mountainfinchpost.com) to host the banner pages and uploaded a test index page via control panel in host gator.

  I am not able to view the test index page as it keeps re-directing to the MFP homepage.

  Let me know if you can assist with this.

  Hi there!

  In order for your subdomain to direct somewhere other than WordPress.com, you’ll need to setup a CNAME record for it through Store > My Domains.

  Here’s a quick guide on how to setup a subdomain:

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!
