Not redirecting non www to www

Hi,

I have submitted this as a bug report but maybe someone here has had this problem as well.

Ever since the new update a huge problem has occurred and is serious for all websites, Normally when you remove the www. (non www) and hit enter you will be redirected back to the www. version of the website. Since the plugin update it no longer redirects you back to www.

I have tested this on multiple websites all with the same issue untill nextgen is deactivated. This causes a duplicate of the website ( both non www and www ) which as we know Google has a rather huge problem with and is effecting our rankings.

We use you plugin virtually on every site and for me to delete nexgen and install another plugin isnt exactly a good fix.

I have added this to my .haccess file:

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

Which works fine but isnt a good fix either but more of a workaround.

Could someone please look into this and either let me know what code is causing this so I can change it or release an update for nextgen?

Thank you for your time.
