    Hi, I’m using this plugin on a website that runs with subdomains (handled by a custom “category to subdomain” plugin). My question is: how can I make this plugin work on subdomains as well? Because in the settings I only see this information: Note: APO runs against the following list of hostnames: domain.com and http://www.domain.com

    Can you tell me more about your setup? Is it a subdomain in a standard WordPress installation in a subdomain folder? Or is is part of a WordPress Multi-site subdomain installation?

    Hi, thanks for your response.

    It’s a standard single WordPress installation (not multisite) located in the root folder — for example, /home/user/htdocs/domain.com/. The subdomains (like news.domain.com, blog.domain.com, etc.) are handled dynamically using a custom “category to subdomain” plugin.

    Basically, each subdomain points to the same WordPress installation, and the plugin rewrites URLs so that a category appears as a subdomain.
    For example:

    • domain.com/category/news/ → news.domain.com
    • domain.com/category/blog/ → blog.domain.com

    So it’s not a separate subdomain folder or multisite setup — just one WordPress instance serving multiple subdomains dynamically.

    We’ve found a temporary solution by logging in to the WordPress admin for each subdomain and manually activating the plugin on each one.

    However, we’d still like to know if there’s a more permanent or automated way to make the plugin work across all subdomains without having to repeat activation manually.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for clarifying, @airul, but I’m afraid your temporary solution is the only option given the very specific setup you have to create subdomains.

    If you want to automate it, you’ll need to write custom code to this.
