Homepage redirects to signup page

  • Hey guys,

    So I just setup my website fightify (dot) com and as you will see, visitors are automatically redirected to a signup page, which shouldnt be happening.

    This only occurs if the domain is typed without the www. prefix. www (dot) fightify (dot) com yields no errors.

    I have a feeling that it has something to do with the .htaccess file, but I’m no coder, and have no idea how to fix it.

    Has anybody seen this happen before?

    When you created your site, you did it as https://www.fightify.com instead of fightify.com

    If it’s brand new, I’d scrub it and start over, creating it WITHOUT the www in the front.

    Yes, you’re exactly right.

    I should have mentioned that before but, I created with the “www.”, because if I didnt, wordpress multisite would removed it anyway by default.

    Is there anyway to force the “www.” prefix after I enable wordpress multisite per your instructions?

    If you set your site up WITHOUT the www it’ll just redirect https://www.yoursite to the non-www version. So everyone’ll get in fine.

    If you want to keep www put this in your .htaccess ABOVE the wordpress calls:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fightify.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.fightify.com/$1 [R=301]

    because if I didnt, wordpress multisite would removed it anyway by default.

    No, it won’t. After 3.0, it no longer strips out the www.

    Great, I had the same problem and removing the WWW in the site config page has resolved the problem.

    The only issue is that I would like the www. to remain and tried the .htaccess hack to no avail. 

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^portraits.adetaylor.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.portraits.adetaylor.co.uk/$1 [R=301]

    It’s not redirecting back.

    Thanks
