XF 1.3 Where to put the code to remove www from your URL?

[Jericho M]

Hi!

I want to remove www from my URL so it will look like http://myurl.com/. I have a code from Yoast.com but don't know where to input it on my forum. Please help me..

Here's the code:

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

You would put that in your .htaccess file.

You would put that in your .htaccess file.

There is .htaccess already in my xenforo root directory. You mean I will edit it and re-upload?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes, you will edit and reupload the file.

Thanks @Jeremy and @Ernest L. Defoe

hi, is this code also automatically redirect indexed link from google ?
example ;
indexed in google with this link : http://www.xenforo.com/community/threads/where-to-put-the-code-to-remove-www-from-your-url.69309/ , when clicked redirected automatically to : http://xenforo.com/community/threads/where-to-put-the-code-to-remove-www-from-your-url.69309/

when I try similar code like this my visitor got 404 error page when accesing from google, but no error when they copy and paste the link manually ...

@touch

I am not sure maybe @Jeremy can give you the right answer. My forum is really new so I don't have any link so far.

Hi @Jeremy and @Ernest L. Defoe,

Just want to confirm if I did the right things.

I put the code before </IfModule> Is this correct?

Yes! Why? Because you're in the conditional for the apache mod_rewrite

Yes! Why? Because you're in the conditional for the apache mod_rewrite

Thank you for the confirm. Now I can proceed to re-uploading this and ready to welcome my naked url

 

[seojoseph]

but I hope you noticed that you need to remove the duplicate RewriteEngine On for your addition to this file.. good luck and have fun!
