Automatically Use Www.

[AshbridgeWS]

Hi everyone,

 

How do I setup my Prestashop store to use WWW. automatically for example if I type domain.com, how do I make my store display as: www.domain.com?

 

I tried manually changing my link in the Preferences -> SEO And URL screen but it causes a redirect error?

in Preferences -> SEO And URL, in the domain field, simply enter www.domain.com

I have tried this.

 

As explained above, typing in WWW. causes a redirect error.

Try below rule in your .htaccess

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks for your contribution.  

 

It gets a bit more complicated when shop also has https

 

here is search with different examples of rewrites when https is taken into account:

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=rewrite%20non-www%20to%20www%20https

 

at the end of the day we would prefer all pages use https, then we could use simpler rewrite rule of www and non-www.  Note: make sure that preferences-->seo & urls-->domain and ssl domain match any rewrite exactly (i.e. with or without the www) otherwise front office cart make act in unpredictable ways.
