I am trying to redirect my whole site to non-www
here is the htaccess code I am using
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# no www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.akorra\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://akorra.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
any ideas
I think your rules need to between the module tags.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# no www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.akorra\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://akorra.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
</IfModule>
Here is what you need to add to your .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
However, if you are working with Wordpress as the engine that powers your entire site, just update the permalink structure and all internal settings with your domain name in it to remove the www.
EDIT:
I thought that was different when I wrote the answer Sorry. Try moving your non www rule to the top...
# no www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.akorra\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://akorra.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301s,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
AGAIN keep in mind if Wordpress is set to produce links with a www
then nothing will stop it from reverting everything back to having a www even with a correct rewrite rule.
More Wordpress details:
Check the settings in wp/wp-admin/options-general.php
...
- Be sure to remove the
www
in WordPress address (URL)
- Be sure to remove the
www
in Blog address (URL)
AND then update your premalink structure in wp-admin/options-permalink.php
so the changes are reflected.
After all that is said and done, be sure Wordpress did not overwrite new code in your .htaccess
file.
Hi I think you need to adjust your script as follows for the rewriting to work:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
I believe that the follow symlinks absolutely has to be included for url rewriting to work properly.

Rob
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# no www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.akorra\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://akorra.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# WordPres
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/[^\.]+[^/]$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
This should work
I suggest to use this piece of code for removing www from your website:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
it's more generic.
and in your example it's best to use this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# no www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
</IfModule>
