How Do i properly 301 redirect this?

I have a blog, internetbusinessdaily.net, and I have the preferred domain set to without the "www." I want to redirect any instance of the site with www to non-www. This includes internetbusinessdaily.net/index.php. No matter what, I want the final URL to look like:

internetbusinessdaily.net/*

*= anything after that doesnt matter.

Here's what I have in my .htaccess so far:

===================================
# BEGIN WordPress


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>



# END WordPress
=========================================

How do i do this properly?

Thanks!!!

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/1$ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Try with above code.

 

Will this mess up the URL formatting that is already on the site? It already maps a database driven URL to a cleaner URL. The code you gave me doesnt seem to include some of the rules from the code i posted. can you confirm? thanks!

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/1$ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

This is the final code.

 

This didnt work. I replaced example.com with my domain...and nothing changed from my old code. Did i do something wrong?

 

is there a reason that previous post code didnt work?

 

it should be:

redirect 301 /oldsite/oldpage.htm http://www.newsite.com/newpage.htm

Code (markup):

never saw it being done that other way before.

 

does this forward every instance of site.com to www.site.com?

 

it would forward just that folder. For instance, if you wanted to do one page to one page, it would be:

redirect 301 http://www.newsite.com/oldpage.htm http://www.newsite.com/newpage.htm

I am looking to 301 redirect with htaccess rules. is this the best way?

 

definitely. Also, I'd recommend de-indexing links in your Google Webmaster account (Tools -> Remove URLS) if any of those URLs do not have backlinks.

 

but does that rule work in htaccess? does it account for every instance of the domain? i want any URL with WWW to redirect to nonWWW. thanks

 

i still dont have a working solution for this. can someone please help me.

the code i currently have is at the top of this thread. i need to keep what is there but add the functionality to allow any page with www. to 301 redirect to non-www...regardless of what page it is.

thanks

 

If you use wordpress, you should change WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) in Options-> General

 

I already have it the correct way, but that doesnt redirect www. to non-www.

 

I also use wordpress and no problem with redirect. Watch the URL

www.trip-tips.com or try this htaccess code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
[B]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/1$ [R=301,L][/B]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Code (markup):
