I have successfully set up Wordpress Multisite, using subfolders. I can clone an existing site, however when I try to map it to a new domain, I get an SSL error. This makes sense, because the new domain doesn't have an SSL certificate set up, but I don't know how to properly do this.

My setup is that I'm using forge.laravel.com over digitalocean.com

MY DILLEMMA:

My multisite address: multi.myprimarydomain.com - WORKS

My cloned multisite site: multi.myprimarydomain.com/cloned-site - WORKS

My desired domain for the cloned site: mysecondarydomain.com - ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT

STEPS I'VE TAKEN:

  1. I pointed my GoDaddy IP for mysecondarydomain.com to the server with multi.myprimarydomain.com.

  2. I changed the Site Address (URL) to mysecondarydomain.com in the WP Multisite Admin section for multi.myprimarydomain.com/cloned-site.

I know I have to somehow install an SSL Cert for mysecondarydomain.com, but I don't know how.

Forge offers free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt. You can check their official resource and follow the installation guide. You'd have to install separate certs for each site, but this shouldn't be an issue, as Forge offers automatic renewals.
