All non-www pages redirect to the home page of primary site

    When pointing the browser to any non-www version of any page and any subsite, WordPress always (well, in my case that is) redirects to the home page of the primary site.

    So, https://mydomain.com/any-page, or https://mydomain.com/other-site/any-page, are all redirected to https://www.mydomain.com. No matter what page and what subsite.

    I don’t mix the use of www and non-www anywhere in my site.

    The behaviour is similar to this post, but the offered solutions do not work in my case.
    One of the differences is that I have placed the multisite installation in a subfolder of the root folder.

    Any suggestions?

    Most likely it is .hatccess configuration issue. Since Multisite installed in a sub directory, please refer the following WordPress documentation to configure .htaccess for Multisite installation in sub directory.

    After some further investigation of .htaccess, it seems my hosting provider redirects all non-www urls to the homepage of https://www.mydomain.com and drops any extensions before the .htaccess of WordPress gets it.

    I’ve opened a ticket with my provider to check this.

    A few days and many trial and errors later…

    It seems I’ve done something wrong when applying the solution mentioned in the aforementioned post.

    Changing my .htaccess to the following solved the issue.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

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

RewriteBase /
etc.
