Please help fix WWW rule...

[usAdultAds]

I have tired rule after rules, but cant get the forum to
point to www (at least not in working condition...)

Root works fine; forum is not in root.

http://www.domain.com

however, when I go to forum it is:

 http://domain.com/community/

I tried the following rule in htaccess

RewriteBase /

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

It does point too:

http://www.domain.com/community/

however, the post urls no longer work, ie 404

any solutions?

Thanks

Add this to the .htaccess located in the forum folder. Of course you will need to change to your domain and forum folder.

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

Put these two lines of code here:

The little changes that can make a difference between working and not...
appears to work like a charm. thanks

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.

What is mean of this rule?

!^www\.

What is mean of this rule?

!^www\.

It forces www onto the domain..
rather then domain.com it will be www.domain.com

If you use both, then google may see this as duplicate content.
It is best to use one or the other, but not both...

And what happens when CloudFlare takes a dump or doesn't work and you need to take it out of the equation?
