Hi, all!

I have just finished installing my wordpress setup on my server. The goal is to use it for a subdomain of my website, but I am struggling to make the (DNS?) connection. How do I connect the two? I have created a subdomain at my domain provider, and my wp-config is configured for the subdomain, but I do not understand what I am to do next. I suspect I need to do some kind of DNS connection but I have scoured the internet and can only find cases where people connect to wordpress servers, not my self hosted case.

Help!

Your servers reverse proxy (Caddy, Traefik, Apache, Nginx…) redirects incoming requests to your application (Wordpress). You need to configure the reverse proxy so that it knows which request (origin / the subdomain) to forward to which destination on the server.
