Troubleshooting

Subdomain Not Working

Possible Causes:

  • Wildcard DNS not configured properly
  • Hosting provider doesn't support wildcard subdomains
  • DNS propagation still in progress (wait 24-48 hours)
  • SSL certificate not configured for subdomains

Solutions:

  • Verify DNS settings with your hosting provider
  • Use the plugin's status checker
  • Contact hosting support for wildcard subdomain setup
  • Configure wildcard SSL certificate

Subdomain Redirects to Main Domain

This is common behavior when:

  • Hosting automatically redirects non-existing subdomains
  • Wildcard DNS points to root domain

This is usually normal and doesn't affect functionality

SSL Certificate Issues

For SSL on subdomains:

  • Use wildcard SSL certificate (*.yourdomain.com)
  • Configure SSL through hosting provider or Cloudflare
  • Some hosting providers offer free wildcard SSL
