I have imported a non multisite from kinsta to test out how multisite and WPML will work, Site downloaded fine and once i deactivated all plugins to enable multisite there was no issue.

However once I create a new sub site whithin multisite it does not work:

# Hmmm… can’t reach this page

Check if there is a typo in usa.hearingaidaccessories-1.local.

- If spelling is correct, [try running Windows Network Diagnostics](javascript:diagnoseErrors()).

DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NXDOMAIN

Just wondering if anyone else has discovered this issue and has a solution?

Hi @Hear4U_Calendar ! I’m happy to help. The error indicates that it does not know where `usa.hearingaidaccessories-1.local` is located. Adding an additional domain for a multisite requires editing the local host file on your machine to include this domain.

Depending on if you’re on Windows or MacOS, [we have a guide here on how to edit your local host file](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/edit-hosts-file/).

The lines you’ll need to add to the host file are:

`127.0.0.1 usa.hearingaidaccessories-1.local`  
`::1 usa.hearingaidaccessories-1.local`

That’ll make the domains accessible. Let me know if you have any questions on this process!

How to generate an SSL certificate keychain on the mac? You auto generate an SSL when creating the site, but not when adding a new site as a subdomain. Is there a script we can use to generate a valid SSL certificate keychain?

Hello @halkibsi 👋

This is not required when adding subdomains to Devkinsta multisite. The only needed step is editing the **hosts** file and the site should be accessible.

Are you seeing any errors when accessing the subsite on Devkinsta?

Kind regards,
