   Hi, our site's always been http://domain.com, but we've changed it via a htaccess rewrite to force it to http://www.domain.com whatever people enter. Problem is, I can't get into WP-admin with this rewrite as the login page is http://domain.com/wp-login.php (it rewrites to include the www then doesn't recognise me)!

   Is this simply a case of changing the site's URL in wp-admin (I can get in of course if I change the htaccess back) to the new www. address in Settings/General, where it's currently without the www? Will that mess anything else up?

   Thanks!

   No it should be fine, change the URL under the settings to include the www..

   Can't harm to do a backup beforehand though.
