I’d like to find a way to make subdomain addresses work for some of my important tags and categories. For instance foo.thesite.com would show content for thesite.com/category/foo.
I’ve been trying to make this working using my .htaccess file and the DNS but I can’t get it to work properly.
Making the subdomain forward to the right URL is just a matter of the right DNS settings, but then I also want to make sure the site shows it as foo.thesite.com.
Can anyone provide some ideas on how to make this work?
Update – April 6: I found one partial solution. If you have full domain DNS control and you have the CURL DNS option you can add a subdomain and point it to the category or tag page. The catch is that when I did this, clicking links leaves the URL as foo.thesite.com, and the title somehow doesn’t work–instead of a title I get the URL as the page title.
Any thoughts on this, alternatives, or ideas on how to format the .htaccess rules?
