PBN Redirect That I Missed

InsanelySane · Apr 23, 2014

So typically I will set up my PBNs with a global 404 to redirect all the old pages juice to the homepage.

However, something I have never done is redirect the non-www to the www (or vice versa depending on where you built the homepage on)

My question is, does a global 404 redirect plugin achieve this? Or does wordpress by default do this? Or does this have to be done via .htaccess?

If I were you I wouldn't do it. I believe it might raise a big red flag.

Wordpress does it automatically, if you want to do it manually, open your htaccess and enter:

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

Common sense would lead me to agree. However, using a 404 global also from a common sense angle would lead me to think thats a big red flag. Same with linking a single pbn site to more than one money site hosted on the same server. However, these are the norms for PBNs.

If it does it automatically why would I want to do it manually?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Why would I want to do it manually if it does it automatically?

How simple would this have been to test yourself. Just saying...

Yea thats my error, because I never use anything else I feel as its almost automatically implied.

However, I was under the impression WP doesnt do it. Or is this something new in the more recent versions?

Nope not a recent addition, you can see it under: Settings > General

Where it says Wordpress url.

So whenever you type in www.url.com / url.com it will redirect to whichever one you have chosen there, even sub pages.

That is with a route install, never tried it if WP is installed in a sub directory of a url.
