I can not for the life of me find understandable, step-by-step instructions on how to direct http://www.thehandshakemagazine.com to http://thehandshakemagazine.com. everything I've found so far is either uber-advanced or doesn't work, and any plugins that say taht they do such a thing turn out to be worthless. Can anybody help me out?

Will this link do the trick?

Posted 10 months ago #Hey there. Whether this link will do the trick or not all depends:
Is it telling me that all I have to do is the following:
1. Open .htaccess in my root directory.
2. Drop in this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]3. Save and re-upload .htaccess.
Poof? Done? Where do I put that code in .htaccess? Anywhere?
Thanks!

Yup, that should do it. It has apache redirect all browsers from http://www.anything.whatever to anything.whatever.
The author of that article (and I) both suggest putting that at the beginning of your .htaccess file.

Bah...
The forum made one of those examples a link, but I think you get the idea.

Or after?

Posted 10 months ago #Oh. Wait. This is already in my .htaccess:
# 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># END WordPress
What's going on there?
-
Before, but only to keep it separated from the WordPress rules. (It technically shouldn't matter)
-
That's WordPress's normal rules to enable pretty permalinks.
