I lost my forcing of 'www' onto URL in sub-directories.

Before I installed vBSEO I had it so my site forced 'www' onto the URL no matter what page you were on via .htaccess in public_html:

Code:

# Forcing www. infront of domain
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(mydomain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

Now that I've installed vBSEO and I overwrote (accidently) the .htaccess in the forum directory (public_html/forum) it no longer does that for pages in the forum directory.

I can't figure out how to fix this, any help?

I tried to add this in red to .htaccess in public_html/forum but it didn't work (I didn't expect it to):

Code:

# Forcing www. infront of domain
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(mydomain\.com/forum)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

it's actualy in the htaccess file already. it's commented out. # = comment

What do you mean it is in the .htaccess file already? Are you saying what I uploaded from the vBSEO files had it included?

yes

find:

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


at the top of the file.

remove #
replace yourdomain

Alright, I tried that, but when I did it it redirected me to: http://www.mysite.com/forum//home/my...lic_html/forum.

try this:
vbseo not rewriting URLs

Hmm, this is not really working. That didn't solve the problem either. :(

probably best to open a support ticket then... have the vbseo staff take a look.

The code should be:

Code:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} forum/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.adminaddict\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.adminaddict.com/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

AdminAddict is actually not the site I'm doing this for, but thanks a lot, that worked!

You are welcome
