Hi, I accidentally put ww. instead of www. in the settings part on wordpress. It wouldn't let me resave to www. and I keep getting a "url not found" page. I can't login in as a result either as it goes straight to a not found page again. Does anyone know how to solve this? Can I change something using my FTP? Thanks, Kelly |

You're going to have to dig into your database and make the change. Using phpmyadmin - do a search, choose all your database tables and do a search for ww.yourdomain |

I did that once by adding www, (comma, not dot) and it jacked everything up. Luckily it was a fresh install and I just deleted the site from my servers and reloaded it. I looked in the phpadim area, but couldn't get it. I guess I didn't look hard enough. I thought I knew how to fix nearly everything in WP, but that one stumped me. Now I know. Thanks! |

Another option is to create an add-on domain called WW. In the newly created subdirectory you can create an .htaccess file with the following content. Code: <Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ww.example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ww.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.example.com" [R=301,L] |

but to do that you're going to need to get the DNS setup as well - ww.example.com won't map though to example.com unless you explicitly set it up.

I'd just set up the ww.example.com subdomain so that it's assigned to the same folder as your Wordpress installation and go from there. If this is a brand new Wordpress install, I'd just scrap it and start all over. Either way, it would only take 5 minutes. |

You are right up to this point. You can solve this problem. But, you create another problem unintentionally... You will create duplicated content, which Google dislike. | |

| Well no, not really. If it's a fresh Wordpress install (with no content) how could any duplicate content be created?

| James the add-on domain feature does this for you. Or I should say, at least it does with Hostgator. Not sure about other web hosting providers.
