 * Thank you for your fast reply. I didn’t think of the .htacess file, thank you
   for solving the riddle for me.
 * Not that I have now any clue about how to remedy it 🙂
 * I never used .ht access files, this one I’ve set up in the root per instructions
   of google analytics, to support the redirect of the non www url to the www.
 * _RewriteEngine on_
 * RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.tarsales\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .? [http://www.tarsales.com%](http://www.tarsales.com%){
   REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
 * Copied the .htaccess file to the /blog, to no effect . I suppose WP by default
   directs to the non www url and that is what causes the problem when having wp
   in its own folder on a www url?
 * Is it solved if I set up the non www url as cannonical, or can it be solved by
   changing something in the .htaccess file in the blog folder only.
 * The last solution would feel for me a lot safer to do, having lots of advertising
   campaigns running and not sure if they are safe when changing the cannonical 
   url.
 * Thank you for your time.
