I'm loosing my cool with google !!! What I have to do to get my site indexed with "www" ???!!! I'm using wordpress with graphene theme



I've try by modifying .httacess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.org
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.org/$1 [R=301,L]


then in wordpress settings general I've put www in "WordPress address (URL)" and in "site adress (URL)"



then I've modify wp-config.php
define('WP_HOME','http://www. example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www .example.com');

then I've created a google webmaster account but when I try to save my site display with www it gives me that I've have to verify my site .
I've verified my site by uploading a page to my site from google and then click verify in google webmaster tool ! (see atachement)



Yahoo had indexed my site with "www" why the f..k google doesn't ????


When I've used another theme than graphene with just modifying htaccess google had indexed my site with www but since I've start using graphene google does not want to index my site with "www" ; Why ?!!!


What to do for google to index my site with "www" ??

    You have to add both the www and none www site to webmaster tools. Make sure you have validated its your site by installing the html file. Only then it will take your sitemap. Make sure you can access the html file from your browsers or it is not properly installed.

      3. In the Preferred domain section, select the option you want.
      You may need to reverify ownership of your sites. Because setting a preferred domain impacts both crawling and indexing, we need to ensure that you own both versions. Typically, both versions point to the same physical location, but this is not always the case. Generally, once you have verified one version of the domain, we can easily verify the other using the original verification method. However, if you've removed the file, meta tag, or DNS record, you'll need to repeat the verification steps."
      do this and you can index your site with www
