As said in post above.
.htaccess is not working
Inside my .htaccess i have
But when i have a direct thread url e.g.
It does not redirect to the www-version. What am i missing there in the .htaccess?
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]But when i have a direct thread url e.g.
Code:
https://example.com/index.php?threads/test.23695/It does not redirect to the www-version. What am i missing there in the .htaccess?

For clarification, it does redirect https://mydomain.com to https://www.mydomain.com. But not when i paste an entire thread URL in my browser.

Don't forget that some browsers now drop the www prefix from the domain when they display the URL - even when using the www version.
For example, Chrome shows an abbreviated URL without the protocol or www prefix:

Correct.
i set the url of my forum with the "www" part, but when i accessed it without it, some style-resources are not loaded correctly. Also when i was logged in at https://www.example.com, i had to re-login at https://example.com ... very weird, but now it works perfectly.
