   Hi,

   I just noticed today that all my WordPress pages, posts, etc.. redirects non-www to www just fine except the Uploads folders. My Uploads folder called "files" so for example :

   mywebsite.com/files/image.jpg doesn't redirect to http://www.mywebsite.com/files/image.jpg

   Is this the default WordPress behavior for the Uploads folder or Am I missing something?

   Thank you so much for your help

   WordPress can only redirect the files it controls, which excludes images. You need to use a htaccess redirect for the images.

   OK, thank you. I added a 301 redirect to my .htaccess file and it's working like I want it now. I just wanted to make sure so I don't mess things up.

   Here is the 301 redirect non-www to www incase somebody needed.

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

   PS: I placed it after "# END WordPress" in my .htaccess file.

   Thanks again for your help.
