I have 3 domains and i addad them on my cPanel and thare are referred to the same folder on the root directory When I access from all the 3 domains I see the html that is in the folder (Obviously :)) My question is: I want to install WordPress Is this going to work for all 3 domains or it will be installed only on one address and other addresses will be redirected to the main one I know it's not good for SEO but it's not the important to me

  Hello :) You must install each WordPress instance into it's own document root. You can create subdirectories and update the document root for your addon domain names with the edit icon under the "Addon Domains" interface in cPanel: Addon Domains - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

  If I do that and I would access domain.com/XYZ the content will not displayed if I will access with domain.org/XYZ except if I will added the page / post on the other site What I want is a complete copy "doamin.com" and "domain.org" will be the same if its possible :rolleyes:

  In the case of a domain alias, it should load the exact content the domain name it's an alias to. Thus, no additional action is required beyond adding the additional domain name as an alias. Thank you.

  So what you're saying is that I need to install WordPress on 3 doamins and thay will have the same content? I'm sorry but it does not make sense to me :( why should "domain.com" display the same contents of "doamin.org" if they are not even Installed on the same directory can you please explain a bit more?

  No, you would only install WordPress once. Since the other domain names were added as "Aliases" in cPanel, they will automatically load the contents of the domain name they were added as aliases to: Aliases - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

  Wordpress forms it's links using the full domain name so while the 1st page may load under multiple domain names pointed at it, once the person clicks they'll end up at whatever the domain name Wordpress is using in it's settings. So, you can redirect different domains to one domain but not have one install drive 3 different domains with the same content.

  You can move your WordPress installation to the public_html directory by following the instructions at: Moving WordPress " WordPress Codex Thank you.
