Non WWW to WWW

[imi82]

I used this and works perfectly with all sort of redirection.

Code Select Expand

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

I use SMFpacks SEO for setting pretty urls and I put the mentioned code at the top of the .htaccess file before all the other codes. I hope this will help.

That's the reverse of what was requested. Your code changes www.yoursite.com to yoursite.com, when the request was for yoursite.com to www.yoursite.com.

Damn, do not open old topic, lock this...

each time i add any of these codes in my cpanel. i will be unable to access my main smf admin dashboard. i have tested almost all the codes yet i cannot access my forum as an admin. my password will stop working .but once i removed it, everything will come back to normal

This is how I fixed this stupid little problem.

You need to place rewrite rule to TOP of .htaccess file
and here is a proper code for NON WWW to WWW redirect

Code Select Expand


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


Just remove all you did in .htaccess about this non www to www problem and put this code and it works like a charm
It will redirect

http://yoursite.com to http://www.yoursite.com
http://yoursite.com/any-link to http://www.yoursite.com/any-link
http://yoursite.com/any-link/blah-blah to http://www.yoursite.com/any-link/blah-blah

1. my forum url still topnichez.com/index.php how should i write it?or should i remove index.php first??
2. i have uninstalled Pretty url a while ago but it is still in my .htaccess

Code which I gave you above needs to be on the TOP of .htaccess file!
And you need to change forum url to www if it isn't in configuration in admin panel.

Edit settings.php and search for $boardurl =

edit ur url to contain www      and it's working

Yes you need because on some url-s it will not redirect from non www to www
