| Redirect non-www to www in Wordpress | |||
| For years now, search engines have been struggling with the different variations of domains. For some off reason requests for www.seoweblog.com, seoweblog.com and seoweblog.com/index.php, while obviously return the same page, get indexed as 3 different pages…
The consequinces: Pagerank splits, Backlinks split and lastly you’re risking getting filtered for duplicate content by the new filters at Google. Over at b5media, we’ve been looking for a way to redirect all non-www request to the appropriate variation of the address, and since all blogs run Wordpress it’s been a challenge to do it through the software itself rather than through the Apache server settings. Last week, Matt introduced a plugin that takes all requests for the www version of a site and return a consistent non-www address with the appropriate redirect methods. The plugin, while working good, is only a partial solution as it does not include the index.php requests. I took the same plugin and created a complementary, improved version of it. Since I like to have all www addresses, I’ve redirected all non-www to www and all index.php to /. So far it seems to work fine, however, I’m open for suggestions, comments or complaints… |
