redirecting to home page if url entered is missing "https://www" ?

    Hello, My blog has the settings for the “wordpress” and “site url” set as https://www.mypetpeed.com. Which is correct. The problem I am having is that if anyone enters a url on my site without the “https://www” they get redirect to the home page (https://www.mypetpeed.com).

    I have a link for people to order and leave feedback that I have advertised as MyPetPeed.com/order and MyPetPeed.com/feedback. I figured they would redirect to the canonical version by adding the ‘https://www.” but instead they are redirecting to home page (which is an optin) and I am sure I am losing people.

    I am using the ‘all in one SEO pack” with “canonical url’s” enabled.

    Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance

    Anyone? U cannot be the only one who has had/having this problem?

    I had simmilar problem check the settings tab and see the mypetpeed.com/wp-admin/options-general.php and see if it helps to change the url of the site. Hope I helped.

    I tried changing the url in both the “wordpress url” and “site Url” to the non www version just https://mypetpeed.com and it causes the url to return a ‘redirect error’ when looking at through browser

    Thank you for your effort though. Anyone else have a suggestion?

    I’m not sure… I had the opposite: typing my url without www. in front of it gave an error instead of redirecting to my website. I called my host and it was an error in the domain of my website. I (excidentally) deleted some redirecting directories there. They fixed it and now it worked.

    I’m not sure this’ll work for you, but you can try to just contact your hosting company.

    Good luck!

    just spoke to hosting company, after going around and around with the clowns trying to get me to setup ‘redirects’ for each /[page] they finally realized that my httpd.conf file was missing www. something or another.

    Thanks for your help.
