Website redirects without .htaccess rule

[bhageria]

Hi

My website nerdyelectronics.com always redirects to https://www.nerdyelectronics.com

I created a subdomain origin.nerdyelectronics.com and that too redirects to https://www.nerdyelectronics.com

The .htaccess file is as below.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I am not sure what is causing this redirect. Can you please help? I do not want any subdomain to redirect to https://www.nerdyelectronics.com

If I had to guess, you have origin.nerdyelectronics.com pointed to the same home directory as the main site - you would need to set up another folder in public_html for this new site

Hi @PL281 

Yes there is a subdomain origin.nerdyelectronics.com.

But the problem is that nerdyelectronics.com is getting redirected to www.nerdyelectronics.com.

How do I stop the redirection to "www"? There is no rule in .htaccess for the redirection.

Thanks!!

more than likely you have your WordPress site configured with the www as the domain. So therefore it will auto redirect to that
