Just checked it for you and it looks to be working A-OK

Basically, if you try and type in finalduties.co.uk in your URL bar now, you will see that you're taken to the www.finalduties.co.uk website - just as intended.

Hi Guys thanks for you answers, i a bit of noob when it comes to .htacess but my file now looks like this,

# BEGIN WordPressOptions +Followsymlinks

** RewriteEngine On**

** RewriteBase /**

** RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f**

** RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d**

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

CheckSpelling On

# END WordPress

As you can see there was already some data in the file so i just added the 2 lines

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

How can i check if this is working?

Many thanks for your help

Chris

I agree with Tom

The issue is related to the www and non-www version of your site being indexed.

Here is a simple fix it using 301 redirects in .htaccess if you have access to it.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

You've effectively got 2 versions of your homepage live and ranking.

Using web-sniffer, you can see that both finalduties.co.uk and www.finalduties.co.uk are both giving 200 responses.  Google is effectively seeing both versions as two separate pages.

This can obviously be a problem because it might lead to duplicate content.  What you would want to do is 301 redirect one URL to the other.

Looking at your site architecture and linking, it looks as though you will want to 301 redirect http://finalduties.co.uk to http://www.finalduties.co.uk.  For more info on 301 redirecting, follow this guide.
