site url not working as it should.

  • god for anyone watching this forum I must be a joke. Iv been running wordpress without fail for a while, then a month ago slow admin hit me after that its just been one nightmare after another.

    I now have wordpress with multi site back up and running admin is fine and I have fixed almost all of my other issues.

    HOWEVER..

    My Current problem is that https://cruel-gaming.com does not work, https://www.cruel-gaming.com does.

    A Records are fine, iv not changed them since my last install which worked fine so something changed during this new fresh install.

    I tried changing the database to point siteurl and home to https://cruel-gaming.com but that didnt work either it.

    https://cruel-gaming.com either fails to redirect or load, or it spawns a create new blog called cruel-gaming.com.cruel-gaming.com page lol.

    Any help here would be appreciated as im lost for ideas.

  • Are you sure this isn’t a .htaccess problem? Have you installed any plugin that might be causing this?

    I’m getting a recursive redirect (redirect loop): the page is redirecting to a page which redirects to itself, and so forth.

    here is my .htaccess in /

    # Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.
RewriteEngine Off

SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5

DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php

redirect cruel-gaming.com https://www.cruel-gaming.com

# BEGIN WordPress
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
#</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

    Im running wordpress installed in / and I have multisite on with another two blogs one in dev.cruel-gaming.com and one in swtor.cruel-gaming.com

    https://cruel-gaming.com and https://www.cruel-gaming.com should both point to / my web root..

    Anyway hope that .htaccess file shows something odd cos I don’t think its a plugin.

    oh you will see I tried a redirect but that didnt work.

    Try this, it should work:

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

    Make sure to enable the rewriting engine (first line in the code above).

    Ah yeah that works, just one thing.

    going to https://cruel-gaming.com works a treat now.
    but
    https://something.cruel-gaming.com redirects to the blog sign up but it passes https://www.something instead of something if you know what I mean.

    I dont actually have blog sign ups on at the moment but was planning to turn them back on once i had all this mess sorted out.

    oh and thanks btw.
