Custom domain is a pro feature., so will not appear to free plan admins.
unless (as i understand it) you had custom domain set up BEFORE the pro plans came out
Thanks, yes indeed it is a paid feature, as listed on our plan description page, and free for sites that were using custom domains before we introduced paid plans.

This is a simple and elegant fix, and I think it unifies our wiki's identity well.
One challenge though: it assumes the admin will always control their domain. What happens if the domain expires? I've had friends who have let that happen, someone else swoops in to buy it (hijack it), and they're forced to either submit to extortion or just abandon the domain.
If everything is forwarded, then the only way to manage the site is via the private domain. And if the private domain goes, so goes the wiki's admin control. Is there a simple way to forward all categories except admin?
It can't be a common problem, and I suppose it's also possible to contact the Wikidot team and ask for some administrative help. But you might want to spell that out.
There are many (hundreds?) of older issues that have been reported and forgotten. It's not been possible to hunt these all down, and anyhow, loading up the issue tracker with every known issue (from the pro and community lists) just burns out the devs. We work best when we address issues that people are actively discussing.
In the last six months or so we've closed about 250 issues (and there are 150 open in our tracker). We're now getting pretty good at fixing problems within a week or two of a new report.
So this particular issue popped onto my radar on 13 November and I logged it, and we pushed the fix live the same day.
You're doing great — at jumping on identified issues, at communicating freely with the community, and at keeping your sense of humor. It's also good to know that the devs aren't tracking the majority of old reports. I'll try to dredge some up every now and then.
Yes, if you pull up new issues, with reproducible cases, we'll tackle them. I'm aiming to make a new issue tracker (bugs.wikidot.com) where we can actually do this properly, since now our dev process is working well enough that we can throw issues at it.
