according to your information, you have to firstly choose any of the domain (with or without www). as search engine is being confused in between both URL’s
then go to the setting of wordpress and ensure the wordpress address URL and site address URL are set tour preferred URL (with or without www).
in redrect setting:

Ok, I didn’t realize it was in settings. I updated and submitted for index. Thanks.
I’ll let you know if it works.
Hello,
I understand your concern, well here some point which help you
It appears that the issue is related to the redirection from http://www.crawlspacefacts.com/ to https://crawlspacefacts.com. This can indeed be handled at different levels, including within WordPress or at the server level. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
- WordPress Settings:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to Settings > General.
- Make sure that the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” are set to
https://crawlspacefacts.com. If they are set to http://www.crawlspacefacts.com/, update them.
- Save the changes.
- Plugin Check:
- Check if you have any redirection plugins installed on your WordPress site. Some plugins might be configured to handle redirections. Disable or reconfigure them if necessary.
- Theme Functions:
- If you have custom functions in your theme’s
functions.php file that handle redirections, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
- Check .htaccess File:
- Even though you mentioned not finding an
.htaccess file, it’s worth checking again. It might be hidden or located in a different directory. Look in the root directory of your WordPress installation.
- If there is an
.htaccess file, check for any redirection rules. Make sure they are correctly configured.
- Server Configuration:
- Access your hosting account and check if there are any server-level redirects configured. This could be in your hosting control panel or through a configuration file.
- SSL/HTTPS Settings:
- Ensure that your SSL/HTTPS settings are properly configured. Mixed content issues or incorrect SSL configurations can sometimes cause redirection problems.
- Google Search Console:
- After making changes, go to Google Search Console and use the URL Inspection tool to check the status of
http://crawlspacefacts.com. This can help you identify if there are any issues that Google is detecting.
- Cache and Cookies:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies before testing the URLs. Cached redirects may cause confusion during testing.
Hope you find your answers. Thank you

Thanks @narolainfotech. I was able to change the settings in WordPress to http://www.crawlspacefacts.com/.
It seems to have removed the redirect, but I am still waiting on google. I requested another indexing. Hopeful it will work. Its a new install so I don’t think I have a plugin redirecting, but ill check if it fails again.
Thanks again, Stu
