I have a problem with my 2 domains that I'm not sure how to fix. I have a Godaddy.com Deluxe hosting plan, which allows me to have "unlimited websites" on my hosting account. The problem I'm running into is this. My main website is www.davidchernoff.com, I have a subfolder on it (www.davidchernoff.com/mfl) that is pointed to by the domain www.manualforliving.com When I go to www.manualforliving.com, everything works fine, but when I click "about the manual" my web browser shows the address: www.davidchernoff.com/mfl/about-the-manual. Is it possible for it to show www.manualforliving.com/about-the-manual?? I'm concerned about this because I think it is not helping me at all with my SEO. Thanks for your help.
Godaddy hosting will not help with your SEO overall. Godaddy's hosting services are not good for web developers. Try getting some TRUE cPanel hosting - This will allow you to have multiple domains without the document root being exposed.
Are you looking to keep the same contents for both the websites? If yes, and if you want to display the contents of the main domain while having the second domain name in the address bar, use Frame Forwarding. Frame Forwarding means, creating a page and reading the contents of another website in frames.
Check the domain name in WordPress is set correctly for www.manualforliving.com, it should be set to the domain name, the reason I say this is because if you look in the source code you'll see that the URLs all start http://www.davidchernoff.com/mfl/ therefore it is undoubtedly a script configuration issue. If the script is set up correctly then check that the URLs are not hard coded in the content/theme somewhere, it's one of those things that's just easier to fix than explain what to look for, but hope that helps.
You have used a relative linking for this. That's why this issue occur. You may try giving the exact URL to the href in HTML.
Actually it's the other way around, absolute URLs were used. If relative were used then there would be no domain part in them and then no issue.
Configure in the Wordpress general settings and it would be OK Give the Script source URL as http://www.davidchernoff.com/mfl/ and The Site URL as www.manualforliving.com And it would be done Thanks.
