BUT! Not with PHP 8.x 🙁 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f24d5e3ea723b394119945da877126105a513e52ddefbf304860cbde9b06b9a5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Worked as it should](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-as-it-should-4/)󠁿 [derjan83](https://profiles.wordpress.org/derjan83/) October 22, 2021 Worked perfect on our multisite domains, even with latest 5.8x wordpress version. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e16618d01e03a33fd377b4ae1e97900466afaf509354fc271ff18a4b6c0ff606? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Made my multisite error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/made-my-multisite-error/)󠁿 [](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joppedi/) February 3, 2021 Same as Bryan above: installed as instructed but got immediately error for the hole wp-installation.

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/61c700004e617446b62d89a95ff82d3520ad2a2fb98373ddd695d077b3951072? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best multisite mapping domain tool !!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-multisite-mapping-domain-tool/)󠁿 [actopix](https://profiles.wordpress.org/actopix/) June 8, 2020 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 ! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2988cbc680d643f211993273cb1693a51b128e069aa514c63116f9337d964bd5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[That’s It.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thats-it-9/)󠁿 [Brian Lewis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/borisnikolaevich/) June 13, 2020 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.
