I have a newbie question. I added a 301 redirect so everything pointed towards my "www" address. This all worked good, but now all my pages are gone, etc. I can access the site, but my past pages, permalink options, etc. are missing... Am I missing something easy? Any help would be great!
In the dashboard, under options, make sure the wordpress url is set with the http://www. before your domain name. If that doesn't work and you use a .htaccess file try: Keep in mind this code is for permalinks structure /%category%/%postname%/
There is also a WP redirect plug-in http://fucoder.com/code/permalink-redirect/ I don't know if it will help you or not.
That's actually a great plugin and I highly recommend it, although it doesn't help with the www. redirect problem KeywordsandCopy is facing. Great call on your part for bringing it up as it is needed to help reduce duplicate content that WP produces with each post. As it says on the plugin page
