New non-www. web address but the domain is the same
-
Hi Everyone,
we're launching a new WP website that has a non-www. web address. Old address www.1to1therapy.ca, new address http://1to1therapy.ca. A re-direct has been created for the www. address. It appears that this is causing an issue for the Moz page crawler. It is currently only crawling 1 page. I will set up a new campaign.
BUT
As best practice should I set up all new google analytics on http://1to1therapy.ca? It appears that the analytics are functioning correctly, but I'm unsure if any issues may arise from the change.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hey Jason!
I just checked your campaign, and since tracking was excluded to the subdomain you will need to create a new campaign. However, Dirk and Bryan should be correct in that your GA account should be just fine with those modifications they pointed out.
I hope this helps. Thanks everybody!

Dirk is correct. However, it's important that you also go into Google Search Console (formerly known as Webmaster Tools) and add the new version (or both if you have yet to use GSC). You can then tell Google which version of your site (www. or no) you consider the "proper" one, among other great things. You can ensure your 301s are working correctly, submit sitemaps, and check errors that Google may find.

No need to set up a new analytics - the old one will work just fine.
If both the www & non-www would be active at the same time and if you would still use the previous version of analytics (i.e. not Universal analytics) - you would need to make a modification to your tracking code - but as far as I understand this won't be the case.

Mozbot Can Not Crawl Entire Domain
I'm trying to crawl Redken.com in Moz Analytics and the Search Diagnostics is only crawling 4 pages. The domain uses a "select your country" the first time you visit, and it seems as though the bot is not getting beyond that (aka, not clicking on "USA") and is therefore not crawling the rest of the domain. There is no country specific URL other than redken.com. I've tried entering both "redken.com" and "www.redken.com" as the URL, but no luck. Any tips?

Domain added to the url
Hi, I am having a problem with my Wordpress site http://www.food-and-garden. It seems the domain www.food-and-garden.com is added to the url, for example http://www.food-and-garden.com/recipe-items/blini-lumpfish-roe/www.food-and-garden.com Right now I have 249 404 errors. That's a lot! I found a Q&A similar to this, and as far as I understand, it has to do with relative links. I quess somewhere on my site there is href="www.food-and-garden.com" instead of href="http://www.food-and-garden.com" My question is, how do I find the broken link? Thank you!

Why Moz New Users Are Left Alone?
New users when sign up to an application like Moz need concrete support to make them familiarized the basics at least, but Moz seems to be not realizing this hardship of the new users or intentionally ignoring it. There is no chat service or phone numbers to quickly contact the designated agent for some quick help. Mail responses that are received after much time have their limitations -- not much interactive. What the new users should do, because the Moz is not that simple for new users. [edited question for formatting]

Setting up a new campaign after deactivating an old one
I set up a new campaign and had to go back to deactivate an existing one before I could activate it. Now I cant find the new one I set up, and when I try to re-input the info to set up the campaign it says that I cant because it already exists. Where do I find the campaign I already set up but couldn't activate??
