      Hi,
      I was trying to install Pressbooks.
      When I tried to first install a Wordpress Multisite, I ran into issues.

      Issue 1: When installed as a subdomain multisite with a subdomain, the sub of subdomain is NOT supported by SSL.
      The following image shows that this can work, but I couldn't get the Let's encrypt SSL with wildcard DNS based sub-sub-domains to work.

      66a9c96a-71e5-4ef8-8dbc-9d3380bd9e5f-image.png

      That is, site1.msite.cloudron.club won't have SSL.
      msite.cloudron.com > wildcard SSL will work
      subdomain.msite.cloudron.com > wildcard SSL doesn't work.

      Or is there something I am missing?

      I quickly pivoted to try directory based wordpress multisite and used the following command in the terminal

      /app/pkg/wp-convert-multisite --subdirectories

      as per instructions from this documentation page as follows:

      Open a Web Terminal. To use subdomains in multisite mode:

      /app/pkg/wp-convert-multisite --subdomains

      You can pass --subdirectories to install in subdirectory mode.

      However, I got the following error - Issue 2:

      /app/pkg/wp-convert-multisite: line 35: $2: unbound variable

      And no changes were made to the .htaccess file.

      I would appreciate if this can be looked into please. Thank you!

        @jagan said in Wordpress Multisite Problems:

        subdomain.msite.cloudron.com

        I can't find it at the moment, but I recall an instance where someone had a 4 level domain, and they needed more than just a single level wildcard. *.cloudron.com didn't work, they needed also an A record for msite.cloudron.com, and thus also a wildcard record for *.msite.cloudron.com.
