Since we are starting another New Year, I am finally going to start my personal blog site up. I have had the domain for several years now and have done really nothing with it.
The posts will be of what I have come across or figured out concerning WordPress, the Internet, web sites, HTML, or most any number of subjects, at this point in time, even I don’t know what I will be talking about.
2025 has brought me another new challenge concerning WordPress. I have several domains, some of which are small domains that don’t do much, some that I would like to do more with and some that are here, just because of sentimental reasons.
The new challenge for me is setting up WordPress Multisite. For some of the seasoned veterans using WordPress, this might not seem like a big deal, as for me, well, it was a big deal.
One of the biggest challenges was domain masking. Taking an existing domain and sending users to a different domain and yet, it still looks like they are still on the first domain.
After a couple of hours of searching, I was finally able to find a simple, yet effective INDEX.HTML file that does the trick.
I will post it here in case someone else is on this journey and is unable to find a solution.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Page Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Description">
<meta name="keywords" content="Keyword1, Keyword2">
<style>
body, html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 100vh; /* Full viewport height */
border: none; /* Remove border from iframe */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://someotherdomain.com"></iframe>
</body>
</html>It is fairly easy to use. Simply change the last someotherdomain.com to the second domain you want your first .com to go to and place this code in a file called INDEX.HTML in the root folder of your first .com and the rest is done for you!
Well, I will keep this post a bit short and sweet and you can bet that I will be back soon!
Happy New Year!
