Domain mapping
This guide shows how to change or use multiple domain for your Naviga Web site.
Network Admin
This guide requires you to do Network Admin changes. You find Network Admin in the top menu of wp-admin.
Create site with internal Naviga URL
Setting
Description
Example
Site url
Normally set to an internal Naviga URL, based on the product name.
lvr.prod.ew.ew.infomaker.io
Site Title
Should be site heading and may be visible on the site.

Site Language
English US
Find the Site ID
After creating your site you need to make note of your Site ID.
Fastest way to find it is by editing your site and looking at your browser url.
Add the public domain(s)
Add your real public domain(s) in the Domain admin.
Setting
Description
Site ID
From the previous step above.
Domain
Your primary (canonical) public domain.
Something like www.yourdomain.com
Primary
Should be checked if this is the primary public domain for the site. Only one can be primary.
You can add multiple domain mappings, but only one will be used as primary. The non primary domains will redirect to the primary one.
If no Primary domain is set the Site Address URL (example lvr.stage.ew.ew.infomaker.io) will be used as fallback.
DNS
You also need to make sure the domain(s) are pointing to your server IP.
If you are doing this pre production you probably want to add you primary domain to your hosts for testing.
Cache
After you have done changes to this you probably need to flush your Redis Front cache for updates to be visible on all types of devices.
All done!
Example
A site configured like this...
... will give this result
$ curl -I lvr.stage.ew.ew.infomaker.io
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.lavender.com/
$ curl -I my.oldsite.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.lavender.com/
$ curl -I beta.lavender.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.lavender.com/
$ curl -I www.lavender.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
... All urls will redirect to www.lavender.com in this example.
