wp plugin - force www. in url
This nifty little WordPress plugin will force the url to include the 'www.' part of the url string. Useful if you want your address to be displayed in a particular way regardless of how the user types it in. To see how it works delete the www. from your address bar (i.e. http://samburdge.co.uk) and press return. This type of redirection is usualy done by altering the .htaccess file, which some Wordpress users may not have access to. Using a plugin to do this is an easy solution for WordPress users as the setup process is simple, and will be familiar to most of you.
Instructions:
- Download the plugin file here: URL to Full URL Plugin (rar) | URL to Full URL Plugin (zip)
- Upload the php file into your plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/)
- Go to your plugins page in WordPress and activate the plugin
This is backwards… you should want to take the www out, not put it in… www is old and antiquated…
Hi Mr Papa,
I also have a plugin for that. Different strokes for different folks…

This is useful for people that want a correctly formatted URL. Antiquated because people are lazy.

This doesn’t appear to work for Wordpress MU. Can this be worked in?
Thanks You admin.
I might be mistaken, but couldn’t you just upload an .htaccess file to your main website directory like in this example?
