After doing some tests, it seems that Wilo doesn’t work well with multi-domain setups like ours.

To get around this, I edited the HOSTS file in Windows for each site admin to map our primary domain to our dev server’s IP. That way, staff can temporarily enable the HOSTS entry, log into the WP back-end at just blah.org, and then Wilo works as expected.

Once they’re done making their changes, I have them turn off the HOSTS file entry so blah.org goes back to our live site.

This is a pain though and it would be very nice to have a Wilo Settings page where you could control stuff like this. I realize you’re trying to keep the plugin as simple as possible, but in load-balanced, multi-data center setups like ours (or even just sites that have multiple domains), using Wilo as designed is more difficult with these extra steps.

If it helps… we’re currently using the “Multiple Domain” plugin by Javik:

Perhaps you could even auto-detect additional domains when Wilo installs and pre-configure the setup to accommodate.

Hope this helps someone else with the same issue. And plugin devs, reach out if you need any additional information, happy to help.

Thank you for what otherwise seems to be a really great plugin utility for WordPress!
