primary domain problems. NON-canonical address propagates to ''site … does not

Maybe I am missing something, but I cannot reproduce the issue for ‘anteros.eu’. It redirects to ‘www.anteros.eu’. Is it right?

First, thank you for your time!

Strange. Try this:
1. enter URL -> anteros.eu (I tried in another browser and in mozila it did redirected me to https://www.anteros.eu)
2. when you have https://www.anteros.eu in address bar, highlite and delete “www.” part of URL.
3. I get redirected to https://anteroseu.www.anteros.eu/ as before.

When typing anteros.eu in Chrome’s address bar, problem above is immediate.

Any idea what could be going on?

When you turned on Multisite, you were warned not to use www in the domain name.

The easiest fix would be to use .htaccess and force www all the time.

Yes I was. But I used my www for 2+ years and all the links and … well, you know. Standard excuses for taking a shortcut that later on bites you in your back.

I tried redirecting non www to www from my cPanel. No success.

Also i tried redirecting with .htaccess. But it seems I can’t make it work. There is something wrong with my code… At the moment in my root I have htaccess with:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

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

Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

ok. I made it work. Problem was, in sequence of redirections… When I moved my non www -> www redirection right after rewrite base / things started to work as they should.

This is my code now, for root htaccess on sub-domain multisite network where primary domain is www. For future references. And if anybody sees any mistake, or has any suggestions, I will be grateful for information.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

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

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

THIS IS MAKING ME GO CRAZY! Sorry guys, but problem is NOT resolved!

It works so well, that now it redirects everything to https://www.anteros.eu. Even other sites and domains on network! For example, example1.com redirects to https://www.anteros.eu. Also https://www.example1.com. And example1.com is mapped subdomain that I use for another page on network.

So I added this little line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !example1.com [NC]

And it works now. But is there any other way? How do I tell htaccess, that redirection is only valid for this domain, and NO subdomain? As i see it, problem is that example1.anteros.eu is valid for first RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]. There is no WWW at the beginning and so it redirects to https://www.anteros.eu.

But how to rewrite this code so that I won’t need to ad exceptions like
!example1.com [NC] for every single subdomain?

Any suggestions?
