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.

Can I view Domain Authority stats for longer than the previous 12 months?
When you view the DA chart, it goes back 12 months. There is no apparent way to see any data before that. I searched the Q&A but see no other similar questions. Any insight?

Fixing Non-Valid URL - Oops! This does not appear to be a valid URL. Please try again.
Edit - Turns out I can't delete a question. I ended up finding out I'm supposed to email the Moz team at help@moz.com. I did a search regarding the issue, but I only found answers for people using AWS. The results say the .htaccess isn't setup correctly, but I don't know how to fix that file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can I use wildcards "*" when setting up a new Moz campaign?
Basically I would like the Moz crawler to focus on a specific section of our domain. We do not bucket things via folder groups, so the use of wildcards would be applicable to us. Our URL structure: www.domain.com/some-stuff-here/p12345 Is the example below a valid input to track the above URL structure? www.domain.com//p Thanks.
