Domain: redirect www to non-www
I just recently removed the Webflow A records from my DNS zone records. After a few hours, the naked domain (mydomain.com) was already pointing back to my hosting provider. I imported the new website there, and everything is working just fine.
The old site was using a www subdomain. When I opened www.mydomain.com in my browser, it showed the old site.
Possible solutions I tried but nothing worked:
- Added www to non-www 301 redirects in .htaccess file.
- Added a wildcard redirect to the same domain.
- Changed WordPress Site URL to have www.
- Looked for "www" in the Zone Records and the closest one I found was _acme-challenge.www.mydomain.com and I guess this is just for SSL.
Is it just a cache or is there something I need to do?
