cant get www and non-www to show up that they are connected even though they are

Hello,

We apologize for the confusion you’re experiencing with the www and non-www versions of your URL. It sounds like there may be a misconfiguration that is causing Rank Math to indicate that the two versions are not properly redirected.

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps to edit your .htaccess file and add the necessary redirection rules:

1. Navigate to the .htaccess File: Go to your WordPress Dashboard, then navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit .htaccess.
   

2. Add Redirection Code: Depending on your preference, you can add one of the following code snippets to redirect from www to non-www or vice versa. Make sure to place it after #END WordPress:

   • To redirect from www to non-www:

     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com
     RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

   • To redirect from non-www to www:

     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Save-Changes-1.jpg [L,R=301]

     Replace example.com with your actual domain name.

3. Save Changes: After adding the code, click the Save Changes button.
   

4. Check Your Site: Once you’ve saved the changes, check if the redirection issue has been resolved by visiting both versions of your site.

If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with your website URL so we can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps clarify the steps!
