Overview
The purpose of this plugin is to facilitate deployment of subdomain links to
landing pages on a WordPress website. The plugin automatically maps subdomains
to page and post permalinks based on the post_name field in the database.
There are no administrative settings.
This plugin DOES NOT edit DNS zone files. Subdomain DNS records themselves
either need to be set up individually or as a wildcard record in the DNS zone
file to map to the website directory. Once the request reaches the WordPress
system, the plugin will automatically check to see if the subdomain matches a
page or post name. If so, the WordPress query is edited to get that page/post
at its permalink. The WordPress siteurl is excluded, as is the naked
second-level domain.
