Some basic question on HTACCESS

Just wondering ..

I have already made a new .htaccess to permit me to rewrite my permalinks to %post

So right now i wanted to add more new things into the htaccess so that I can do a 301 redirect of www to non www

SO, do i add the new code ONTOP of the code i have written for the permalinks ?

--> which means i just copy out the exisiting code from ftp server, and add on the new code and thats it, right ?

Please let me know : )) Thanks in advance

 

Just adding it to the top should work fine.

 

Sure, as simple as editing your .htaccess file with your html editor or notepad, making sure to add at the top this code

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www.domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc] 

Code (markup):

then save, reupload and overwrite the original file

 

Thanks to you 2 for the help : )) Appreciate it. Going to try it on a bogey site 1st
