Redirection not working

[csfarnsworth]

http://elmanarah.com/ to http://www.elmanarah.com/

I have mistakenly created 5 databases for one wordpress installation.In order to get rid of them I mistakenly even deleted the right one.Now created the new one but the URL is showing with www

Even now if It type in http://elmanarah.com/ it sends me to http://www.elmanarah.com/

I also check in URL D.A and P.A in OSE it shows like I have redirected it fine.Can anyone Check in and guide me either I have done it right and It pass on my previous work effort or it was total loss for me?

Hi Christopher

Looks like it was done correctly. There's a few ways you can check. One easy way is the Redirect Path Plugin by Ayima. Shows you the status code right in Chrome. http://screencast.com/t/wBqiYMzJf

You can also use a header checker like URI Valet - as long as you see a 301 code when running it the redirect is correct.

mememax I just want to make sure that the Redirection is working properly.Yup your point is right it help us avoid Duplicate content issue.

have a look at your htaccess maybe you can just comment the line making this kind of redirect but that's a good practice why do you want to remove that? normally SEOs redirects to www version to avoid duplication issues. IT's agood thing
