Modifying Wordpress .htaccess and force nonwww

Hello,

I want my blog to appear as www.mysite.com and that if I type a mysite.com the url would become a www.mysite.com I'm using Wordpress and I've been trying to configure the .htaccess at Wordpress folder but I failed.

Anyone can suggest a solution of forcing nonwww to www url? Thanks.

 

add this to your .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.your_domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your_domain.com/$1 [R=301]

 

Hi Domainco.Us, here's the .htaccess of Wordpress

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

# END WordPress

Where should I insert your suggestion? Top most part? Thank you.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.your_domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your_domain.com/$1 [R=301]

 

before
# BEGIN WordPress

 

Thank you, Mann3R. I appreciate your input.

 

I inserted the above suggested rewrite code but I got this error instead:

Moved Permanently
The document has moved here.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

pm me, i might help.,
I have just check the code above, seems you need to change form non www to www, try this

 

Still, it doesn't work.

 

I can't find a solution in Wordpress Forum.

 

try it, otherwise please pm me your blog info

 

I had the same problem last night. I was using my host's cpanel to try to edit the .htaccess. I have been told that this is why mine may have not worked, but 2 scared 2 try again. lol

 

You do know there's a plugin that lets you choose whether to redirect to either the .www or non-www version of your URL path, right? (This plugin also strips index.php from the URI strings as well.)

It's called Enforce .www Preference.

 

I will give a try for the nth time. Thank you, Mann3r
