Closte Integration

Closte Integration

Overview

Closte is a managed WordPress hosting platform built on Google Cloud infrastructure. This integration enables automatic domain syncing and SSL certificate management between Ultimate Multisite and Closte.

Features

• Automatic domain syncing
• SSL certificate management
• Wildcard domain support
• No configuration needed if running on Closte

Requirements

The following constant must be defined in your wp-config.php file if you're using Closte:

define('CLOSTE_CLIENT_API_KEY', 'your_api_key');

This constant is typically already defined if you're hosting on Closte.

Setup Instructions

1. Verify Your Closte API Key

If you're hosting on Closte, the CLOSTE_CLIENT_API_KEY constant should already be defined in your wp-config.php file. You can verify this by checking your wp-config.php file.

2. Enable the Integration

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Ultimate Multisite > Settings
2. Navigate to the "Domain Mapping" tab
3. Scroll down to "Host Integrations"
4. Enable the Closte integration
5. Click "Save Changes"

How It Works

When a domain is mapped in Ultimate Multisite:

1. The integration sends a request to Closte's API to add the domain to your application
2. Closte automatically handles SSL certificate provisioning
3. When a domain mapping is removed, the integration will remove the domain from Closte

The integration also works with the DNS check interval setting in Ultimate Multisite, allowing you to configure how frequently the system checks for DNS propagation and SSL certificate issuance.

Domain Record Creation

This integration ensures that when a site is created or duplicated, a domain record is automatically created. This is particularly important for the Closte integration, as the domain record creation triggers the Closte API to create the domain and SSL certificate.

Troubleshooting

API Connection Issues

• Verify that your Closte API key is correct
• Ensure that your Closte account has the necessary permissions

SSL Certificate Issues

• Closte may take some time to issue SSL certificates (usually 5-10 minutes)
• Verify that your domains are properly pointing to your Closte server's IP address
• Check the DNS records for your domain to ensure they're correctly configured

Domain Not Added

• Check the Ultimate Multisite logs for any error messages
• Verify that the domain is not already added to Closte
• Ensure that your domain's DNS records are properly configured

DNS Check Interval

• If SSL certificates are taking too long to issue, you can adjust the DNS check interval in the Domain Mapping settings
• The default interval is 300 seconds (5 minutes), but you can set it as low as 10 seconds for faster checking during testing
