Redirecting from secure www to secure non-www about oc-redirect-plugin HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Gavin,

Thank you for the compliments. Love to hear it!

For this specific case:

The SSL certificate is validated first (client-side) before executing any script on the webserver. The browser prevents the request from executing. So it will not execute the redirect engine. Unless the user makes an exception.

My advice to you is handle this issue from .htaccess (if your host is running Apache).

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/234723/generic-htaccess-redirect-www-to-non-www

I always handle such things (www to non-www and http to https) with the .htaccess file or webserver configuration.

Hi Alwin

You're very welcome. Thanks for the super-fast reply!

I guessed as much... we're running NGINX though not apache. I'll see if Google turns up some more answers. Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

Best wishes
