I'm trying to work out the best way to integrate AutoSSL and WordPress Multisite, and to make matters more confusing (for me), while I'm experienced with WordPress, I'm new to Multisite.
Forgive me if my question is poorly constructed. I'm trying to get a handle on how to ask about what I need to know.
I am aware that WordPress recommends using a wildcard for subdomains, but I've seen suggestions on their pages suggesting it's not required.
I am also aware that AutoSSL cannot be used with wildcard subdomains.
I don't care about giving users the ability to create their own blogs. That's not the purpose of my multisite network. My purpose is to create a series of U.S. state-based websites that share a common user base. I would be happy to create each individual subdomain manually (such as ca.mydomain.tld or ny.mydomain.tld).
I would normally want to set up a separate Cpanel account for each subdomain, but I gather that doesn't work for WordPress Multisite, which apparently only works within one Cpanel account.
Can I create a subdomain in Cpanel for each state subdomain in a way that would integrate properly with WordPress MultiSite so that AutoSSL will work for each subdomain? If so, what would I enter for the path when I set up each subdomain in Cpanel?
