didn’t I already respond to this question earlier? I’m pretty sure I did…
Well, if you wanted to get rid of WWW, you could try Automattic’s no-WWW plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-www/
Otherwise, if you still want to enforce WWW (kudos on wanting to enforce a canonical domain, by the way), you could add this to your .htaccess file, assuming you are on Apache:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Change “domain” and “com” to your appropriate domain. Don’t remove the “\” from the first line. This method is from 456 Berea Street.

Actually doodlebee, you responded but, this is a new different question. Read the question carefully please.
Did the method I suggested work, ghaus?
i think im asking the same Q. i have a site http://www.mysite.com
i want to use WP within that site, but when the user types in
http://www.mysite.com i want WP to open. How do i accomplish that without having to type http://www.mysite.com/blog
i found this
http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
i think this plugin will do it-
I believe this is a function you can access from inside WordPress after you’ve set it up.
From the dashboard go to Options, General, and the forth blank down is the Blog Address URL blank. “If you want your blog homepage to be different than the directory you installed WordPress in, enter that address here.”
I have been trying forever to fix an issue with http://www.RVoodoo.com
I’m not sure if it was how I set it up or whatever, but I couldn’t get the page to load using both RVoodoo.com and http://www.RVoodoo.com
If I changed things up in the options panel, I could load it as it was set, but not the other way. That would say that the site was uploaded incorrectly.
But the .htaccess lines posted above finally fixed my problem, and it can be loaded either way. Thank you much!
