    Txs. To be sure I understand you correctly…..

    1) you use domain.com without www in the admin of wordpress

    2) You redirect all arrivals /downloads of the www url version to the http://domain.com version since you prefer having the version without www.

    Great thanks a lot for your godsend answers. So nice to be in this forum of wordpress users compared to some commercial closed forum. I definately will be more around.

    Just one more thing: I am not sure whether to change the http://domain.com in the URL setting in WordPress to http://www.domain.com. Will that refrain people from being able to use the version without www in the url line?

    I don’t understand what impact this choice in wordpress has. I can’t seem to find that info anywhere. I remember that I read somewhere that one is free to choose but now I have two choices to make…

    1) Is http://www.domain.com or domain.com the better version with regards to Google and its search engines and ranking?

    2) DOes the choice of http://www.domain.com or domain.com in admin / settings /general affect this in any way? DOes it restrict the other choice?

    Nice day 🙂 and again thanks again for your prompt kind answer.

    One more thing: DO I understand you correctly that I DO have to select either the http://www.comain.com or domain.com in the admin setttings/ general in WordPress? If I choose http://www.domain.com will people then not be able to write domain.com and arrive at my site? Now I have domain.com selected there and automatically I get redirected to the domain.com if I write http://www.domain.com in the url line.

    DOes that tell something?

    Txs on beforehand 🙂

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I Just thought I could do it by choosing the http://www.domain.com version as the primary chosen one in the google webmaster tools, combined with the .htaccess redirect which I think ought to be like this and added to the end of the file (since I have the stuff shown in my commentary from before …Is that a good approach?

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

    ELse I’d do the sitemap as you say.

    I don’t know if too many plugins will make the site heavy to surf around on for the visitors due to bloated code? I have a few already.

    ALso I am not sure if putting the redirect in the header is sufficient since I think I might have pages/posts without that template as well.

    I don’t know if what I say makes sense, since I am not an expert?

    Thanks. I knew most of it but some clarified it further.

    I still wonder why one should choose http://domain.com over http://www.domain.com (wordpress.org is like that). WHy choose one over the other?

    I don’t know what it means when I make it domain.com in the settings/general instead of applying www to it. WHy not put the whole http://www.domain.com there?

    Has that implications on what is the primary or is that not related? I guess not.

    I am just wondering what is dealt with in the htaccess file. I wonder if my file is correct and if there is some automatic redirect there: It’s like this (the abcwebsitemarketing and abc-web-site-marketing.com are add ons and not my primary domain …

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteEngine off
    <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
    suPHP_ConfigPath /home/dines/public_html/php.ini
    <Files php.ini>
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Files>
    </IfModule>

    # 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

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abcwebsitemarketing.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.abcwebsitemarketing.com$
    RewriteRule ^/?$ “http\:\/\/abc\-web\-site\-marketing\.com\/” [R=301,L]

    I have some add one domains, the two at the bottom. I wonder why there is no backslash before the full stops (.) SHouldn’t it be abcwebsitemarketing/.com$
