      http://elmanarah.com/ to http://www.elmanarah.com/

      I have mistakenly created 5 databases for one wordpress installation.In order to get rid of them I mistakenly even deleted the right one.Now created the new one but the URL is showing with www

      Even now if It type in http://elmanarah.com/ it sends me to http://www.elmanarah.com/

      I also check in URL D.A and P.A in OSE it shows like I have redirected it fine.Can anyone Check in and guide me either I have done it right and It pass on my previous work effort or it was total loss for me?

        have a look at your htaccess maybe you can just comment the line making this kind of redirect but that's a good practice why do you want to remove that? normally SEOs redirects to www version to avoid duplication issues. IT's agood thing 🙂

            Hi Christopher

            Looks like it was done correctly. There's a few ways you can check. One easy way is the Redirect Path Plugin by Ayima. Shows you the status code right in Chrome. http://screencast.com/t/wBqiYMzJf

            You can also use a header checker like URI Valet - as long as you see a 301 code when running it the redirect is correct.
