Domainer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Most reviewers say it does domain mapping on multisite simply and well, though a couple hit a wrecked wp-config during the sunrise.php setup step and the newest reviewer flags trouble on PHP 8.

   It works well on our multisite domains, even with 6.1x WordPress version. BUT! Not with PHP 8.x 🙁

   Same as Bryan above: installed as instructed but got immediately error for the hole wp-installation. Had to delete sunrise-file and reload old wp-config to get back on track.

   This plugin was not tested with my version…ehm the current WP and I should listen to this warning. Plugin ruined wp-config.php as I did try to click on “give it a shot” Domainer cannot function until you complete the following: Copy sunrise.php file in Domainer’s plugin folder to your site’s wp-content directory. Add define(‘SUNRISE’, true); to your site’s wp-config.php file. Domainer may be able to do this itself. Click here to give it a shot. Every page running on same Multisite WP Installation was down in no time and there was no access to WP Backoffice. There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. Very very very bad idea.

   I was struggling to make Polylang domain mapping work for my multisite installation for days and booom. I found this plug-in and worked immediately with the option to add alias domain names to my primary website. It canceled the error I was getting with Polylang because domain names was not configured in the multisite installation. I had an url like /wp-signup.php?new= showing up when trying to access the alias for Polylang. Hope it will be maintained because WordPress doesn’t support aliases natively. And I didn’t find other alternatives for my installation. Thank you very much !

   I needed to route custom domain names to specific sites on my Multisite installation. That’s it. Domainer lets me route custom domain names to specific sites on my Multisite installation. That’s it. It does exactly what I needed, does it transparently, and does it well.

   after being a longtime user of WPMUDEV Domain Mapping (and having them inexplicably drop the plugin) i tried to use the salvaged version from GITHUB to no avail. broken. found this plugin by pure chance – installed and works instantly… plus its much BETTER — centrally managed, incredibly simple. really appreciate this plugin, solved all my problems.

   My programmer recommended this plugin, and at first I was worried as it hadn’t been updated for a while and only received four reviews. It seems that my doubts were unjustified. So far it’s working great 🙂
