No WWW?

[Emma]

OK I've updated my wordpress to 2.2.3, some of my inbound links point to Its Write Now (http://www.itsWriteNow.com) and some point to itsWriteNow.com.

I would like for all of my links to count. What's the best plug in for this redirect and is it compatible with the latest version of WordPress or is this function built in.

I would appreciate any info you have. Thanks, Emma

You don't need a plugin as this is simply a few lines of code to add to your .htaccess file (FTP into your account and it should be in your root directory). I hate the www's so I redirect all of mine to the non-www version, but you can do just the opposite.

In my situation I added this to the end of my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.genxfinance\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://genxfinance.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I use same as Jeremy - the .htaccess file.

You can also create a google sitemaps account and set this to your desired preference, so that way google knows. :)

.htaccess is better method - will work on all SEs, including Google :)

Thanks everyone, in the morning I think I'll use the code Jeremy suggested. Wish me luck! Emma

The plugins use .htaccess as well. The only advantage to not using a plugin is that you have one less plugin to depend on, and slightly more control I suppose. :)
