   Hi there,

   is there a way to build canonical URLs like WordPress does? WordPress automatically redirects http://domain.tld to http://www.domain.tld and I would like bbPress to do so too.

   This is needed to prevent duplicate content on your site.

   kind regards

   Tom

   You may do it by .htaccess … 

   From www to no-www

   Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.myforums.com\.com
RewriteRule (.*) myforums.com/ [R=301,L]

   and the opposite … 

   Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^myforums.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.myforums.com/ [L,R=301]

   Ahhh.... this worked for me:

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

   Thx for the hint!

   kind regards
