If you create a redirect for / then that should be all you need.
I also need redirect from homepage.
I have multisite, and if I put “/” to source url that doesn’t work for me((
And I have an IDN, so maybe that influences?
Now I have this kind of redirect:
Source: /
Target: http://xn--…/idn-name/
But browser still shows a homepage.
My root site is normal latin site like site.com.
One of multi-sites is site2.site.com.
And idn is mapped to site2.site.com as a primary domain.
Also latin-name (like site2.com) mapped to it. And it’s redirection works fine.
I need this scheme:
site2.com —> http://xn--…/idn-name/ (and it works now)
xn--… -> http://xn--…/idn-name/ (does’t work, xn--… in adress)
I’ve cleaned some caches, and now it seems to work…
So strange. Deactivation of cache-plugin was not enough.
