Hi, did anyone use a Preferred domain option? When I chose to use "www" I noticed that 2 versions of my site now appear in My Sites, like this: What a hell?
Agreed, pretty weird and newly created entry has also option to choose Preferred domain open instead of it at lest being already set to Preferred domain so I just disabled it again and deleted duplicate domain, I got htaccess redirect in place anyway.
It's not a bug, but a deliberate feature. When you select your preferred domain, the following message is displayed the screen (note the second sentence): So, you can ignore or delete it if you want, but there may be some valuable diagnostics that you are missing. Cryo.
Guys, wait a bit, they'll fix it some day they should have prefered domain not for www or no-www but for several domains pointing on one and the same site
