my site has redirect www.domain dot com/blog and redirects to http://domain.com/blog When i submit sitemap to goolg webmaster tools it gives warnings, redirect isnt to final destination - sitemap showing posts as http://domain.com/blog/post should be www.domain.com/blog/post What can I do to rectify this? I have updated htaccess file, this is below. # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteRule ^(sitemap\.xml|sitemap\.xml\.gz)$ /blog/wp-content/sitemaps/$1 [L] </IfModule> <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
Why do you use redirect after all? You could simply move your Wordpress to the /blog folder. update: Sorry, it seems I didn't get your question.
The easy answer would be to stop redirecting to the same blog, and just use your natural domain address. It doesn't really have any benefit SEO wise to do so, and Googe suggests in the webmaster tools that you should use the "www", anyway.
