Hi. hope I'm in the right place to ask this. How can I get rid of the non www. version of a site please? Even when the www. version loads, when I press the "home" tab, it reverts back to the non www. version. :?

Many thanks
Wendy

Hi Wendy,

To make the Home link go to WWW, in xsitepro --> Publishing tab, make sure you have www in the top box --> www.insomnia-connection.com

To make all page always show as www, add the code below to your .htaccess file on your server -

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


And while you are there, you can add the code below to make all "404 page not found" errors go to your Home page, if you want -

Code:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.insomnia-connection.com

Hi Jason, thanks a lot! :D

The site is an Australian domain so I just replace http://www.insomnia-connection.com with http://www.XXXXX.com.au?

Many thanks
Wendy

Yes and where it has .com in the code you would put .com.au

I have just tried it and it works like a charm :D I'm assuming this is what Seo folk call canonicalization.
Anyway thanks a million!
Wendy

Hi Jason

Didn't know the 404 code so thanks for pointing that one out. Very handy as always.

Trust you are well and business is great.

Ash.
