I've set up a WP site using the Polylang plugin with 2 languages that both have their own domains. The site is running on Apache and the config file has aliases set for the secondary domain, both with and without www, to point to the same directory.The primary domain works as expected but the secondary does not - for some reason trying to access the domain with / without www seems to trigger it to load the default language in either case. Using the setting "The language is set from different domains" under URL modifications, I've tried setting the secondary domain both with and without www. I've also tried enforcing the domain to www by htaccess, but with no results.Any ideas? Using WP 4.2.2 and Polylang 1.8.5.
Kind of a bump to this since it's a 9 month old post.
But I ran in to the exact same problem and I figured since I soloved it I might just share what I did, since I found this post others in the same situation might do.
Here is my code, added to the very top of index.php:
<?php
if (($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'www.website.com') )
{
header('Location: http://website.com');
}
?>
This adds a redirect from www to non-www. This is a fairly "ugly" way to fix the issue.. But hey, if its stupid but it works, its not stupid right?

So the story begin, I installed new WordPress multisite for my client with ssl applied. Then, it should have https://. The ssl perfectly well done, where do I know it? because all http:// now redirect to https://. I don't have any issue with ssl. I use subdomain for the multisite.
Issue came when I try create new site. It's created the new site but have a non https://. Looks like this http://test.thesite.com/ instead https://test.thesite.com/. This behaviour makes all things programmatically content (e.g. create menu) have non https:// also. This is problem because even can redirect to https:// it makes the redirect always working, where it doesn't need to be like that if the url already have https://. FYI: it's working great in local environment.
I also have searched for it but no luck, only when I asked friend, he have same problem with me. He said it's a is_ssl() function that I need to rewrite the original one on a theme functions. But the issue raised again, it's a super admin level not on theme level, how can I inject it on super admin level. Or maybe anyone have suggestion for me what to do?
So then, finally I try to investigate myself. It's a feature not a bug. The condition itself not allow user to have a https even they install wildcard ssl and forced to ssl. It will never happen the subdomain multisite install having ssl by nature, except you edit manually the url in the network site management. There is condition that only subfolder/subdirectory will have ssl. Not sure what the reason behind it. But the problem solved and time to move on. You can use plugin for this.
I'm having trouble getting my Wordpress multi-site installation working the way I want it. I have 3 blogs that I want working in subdomains, and I want to use the main domain as the main website for other things.
So, I want:
Main Blog: stephen.digitaleagle.net
2nd Blog: linuxsagas.digitaleagle.net
3rd Blog: psst0101.digitaleagle.net
So, to log into the network, I would use this url:
stephen.digitaleagle.net/wp-admin/network
I can't be the only one who wants it to work this way. Instead, it seems designed to work with the main blog on the main domain and the other blogs as subdomains.
When I create the 2nd blog, it was:
linuxsagas.stephen.digitaleagle.net
I have gotten part way there...
Step 1: Created the site. (I actually used WP-Cli)
Step 2: I updated the wp2_option and wp3_option tables ... I changed the rows where the option_name field was siteurl or home.
Step 3: I edited the site on the sites page and changed the URL.
After those steps, the blogs show up on the correct URLs. My problem is that the admin logins don't work. I don't get an error message. it just doesn't log in for some reason.
If it makes a difference, I am using nginx instead of apache. I don't think that this the problem, because the URL takes me to wordpress.
Is there a correct way to do this? Is this not supported?
I finally figured it out by adding error_log() statements into the wordpress code and with this post:
Can't log in: “ERROR: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.”
I cleared my cookies for the site, and that's when I started getting the error message about cookies not being enabled for the site.
I added this line to the wp-config.php file:
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] );
I'm still not sure if this is the "right" way, but it is working, and I guess that is what counts.
i have a wordpress website with this name mydomain.ir
i parked mydomain.com to this website. but when i type mydomain.com it redirect to mydomain.ir
i want to address stay on mydomain.com .
i try some plugins but didnt work properly.
my host service told that this is a worpress error and you should change your codes.
i tried this but didnt work too
what can i do to do this?
thanks for your answers
First of all, make sure that you have the correct url at wordpress settings. Check Settings->General and make sure that site and home urls ar the one you want.
Next, check if there is any kind of redirection at .htaccess file.
Then, check at your cpanel if you have added any redirection there.
Finally, make a search at your wordpress database for your unwanted domain name. Make sure to change all old urls to the new one. Try this plugin for that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
Update:
Alternatively, you may want to mask your domain. This should be done through your domain name registrar.
In wordpress, how can I change where the links are pointing to without changing the server name or adding redirection?
My main site is a rails app at www.example.com.
I have the wordpress blog on a separate server at blog.example.com/blog
I have a reverse proxy on the primary (rails) server that takes any url that ends in /blog/ and then serves up the blog content. (That's all behind the scenes -- the user never sees the blog.example.com domain)
Currently, I can access the blog via the reverse proxy at www.example.com/blog, but the problem is that the urls on the blog point to blog.example.com/blog (wrong) instead of www.example.com/blog (right).
I've tried changing the urls in wp-config.php, but whenever I change those it breaks something.
I eventually figured it out. Here's what I did.
1) Got rid of the Bitnami wordpress image (on Amazon) and reinstalled wordpress fresh, from scratch, on EC2. Bitnami had a bunch of magic behind the scenes that was making it hard for me to figure out what was going on.
2) Via wordpress admin changed Site Address (URL) from http://blog.example.com/blog to http://www.example.com/blog Previously, I had been changing this in the wp-config.php file, but I am pretty sure that doesn't do the same thing. So I needed to change it in wordpress admin. However I needed to keep the Wordpress Address the same. Found out that the Site Address governs the urls displayed in the theme, whereas the Wordpress Address is the server hostname. I'm using a reverse proxy which is why this was confusing.
3) To enable pretty permalinks behind the reverse proxy I changed the permalink settings in wordpress admin, then I updated .htaccess according to its instructions, then I modified /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default changing AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All. Need to do this to enable mod_rewrite to work on virtual hosts.
Go to wp-admin - settings, and change site url. Than flush permalinks by resaving settings.
You don't really provide a mountain of information. But you will need to check this area of your dashboard
http://www.steveovens.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/wpid209-Check__Force_HTTPS_in_site_address__Wordpress_address.png
to make sure the information is
http://54.235.249.193/blog/
In both fields.
If you still have issues try changing your permalink setting to a new setting save it and then change it back again and save.
http://www.webmikesites.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/permalink-settings.png
If you are unable to access the dashboard of the site on the address
http://54.235.249.193/blog/wp-login.php
As it redirects you to the other domain.
Then you need to likely change the two fields mentioned earlier siteaddress and wordpressaddress via the database. Find the table in your database wp_options or yourtableprefix_options and edit the fields option_value where the option_name is siteurl and home to have the address
http://54.235.249.193/blog/
Also if you are just starting using a webserver. You may need to make sure your files are writable by the webserver.
There is a problem on my client site.Due to some of the redirections set up for magento.. I am not able to access the wordpress pages.. Whenever I try to access a wordpress page, I am redirected to a magento 404 not found page.... so please let me know how to remove redirection on my magento site??
Your question is ambiguous. Is it the rewriting in .htaccess (or somewhere else) doing the redirect, or do they have redirects in the core_url_rewrite table that conflicts?
I would guess the former. You need to create an alias or location for your Wordpress area that are distinctly different from your Magento area. Often this is accomplished through a separate subdomain, like http://blog.example.com/ or through a suffix like http://www.example.com/blog/.
