www and no www

Please redirect if wrong forum. My site has always been fine with the www. or without it. I must have changed something, because now without the www my site lacks color and images. Can anyone tell me what I changed and how I can fix it. Thanks Ippon www.efinancehelp.com

 

Did you modify your root directory's .htaccess file by any chance?

 

Yep... .htaccess file...

If you want the www to always show up even when someone types without the www. Add this to your .htaccess file:


RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]


Cheers,

301 redirect will redirect users from non-www to www version or vice versa

I always use www with main domains and non-www for subdomains.

You could do the redirect in the host settings. Depends upon your host.

 

Also, go onto Google webmaster tools and change your site url preference in google for the www. extension...
