No WWW and with WWW

inthestars · May 25th, 2008, 5:47 AM

Umm okay so if you go to www.tellhim.net it would show a blank page but tellhim.net would lead you to the blog.

How do I fix this problem?

Some said this: You installed wordpress at http://tellhim.net not http://www.tellhim.net. There should be an option somewhere in your domains control panel or hosting panel, whatever, to remove “www” from your domain when someone types it in. so when you go to http://www.tellhim.net, it’ll go straight to tellhim.net.

Another person said that I had to redirect my .htaccess file.

Can someone help me out? I'm such a noob.

Personally I use the .htaccess method. This is an excerpt from a site that instructs you how to do that.

The process of making your domain a Class B is quite simple. All you need to do is create or modify a file called .htaccess located in the root directory of your site and add the following lines, changing the red text to match your domain.

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

In other words, in the root folder of your site make a file called .htaccess (open up notepad & type in this code then save it as .htaccess without the .txt) & inside the file put this:

Code:

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