How to change the WordPress address (URL)

  • Hi guys,

    I’m using WordPress 2.8.4 just for the blog of my website and I just noticed that the URL in both the WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) settings is my domain name without www (basically a different domain from the main website). In fact, if I try to access the blog using the www, the address gets automatically converted to the non www version of it.

    Since, though, the whole website is set up with the www, I’d really like to change this, especially for Search Engines.

    Can I safely change the URL in those settings and solve the problem or is it not just that simple?

    Many thanks.

  • When you register your domain, do you include the www? And I am pretty sure when you register it, they definitely include the www

    The server is set up so that the domain is served in both ways, with and without www, but WP converts any www request to a non www one making the blog, technically, live on a different domain.

    Can I change those two settings safely to www?
