SME Server has issues displaying images inside blogs that use Domain mapping, in order for the images to show correctly, we need to create custom template to enable allow_url_fopen and create custom template for "hosts" file:
+
SME Server and wordpress use the same name "files" for totally different folders, and that is causing issues displaying images inside blogs that use Domain mapping. In order for the images to show up correctly, we need to create a custom template to fix the conflict.

Go below to PART TWO for instruction on how to create the custom template.
