Topic: URGENT - 301 redirect needs to be put in place

Setup a 301 redirection through htaccess like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^chordie.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.chordie.com/$1 [L,R=301]

or if you want all traffic to go to the non-www:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.chordie.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://chordie.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Because your site is basically duplicated on the non-www compared to the www and search engines don't like that and it's also confusing for when you bookmark the site. Just wanted to do my part in helping out the site :-)

Seems like this is causing some problems in the public songbooks. However I think (hope?) it is temporary...

The problem was just temporary. Errors from people being on (non-redirected) pages, clicking redirected urls. Got a few hundred errors, but it has stopped now. Thanks a lot, Scott.

No problem, as always, I am here to help and can be a good resource if you ever just need a second opinion from another developer.
