Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: www.domain won't load, domain without www. doesHowever, when I added this code to the beginning of the .htaccess file, it did work.
# Redirect www urls to non-www RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.omnimedianetworks\.org [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://omnimedianetworks.org/$1 [R=301,L]I don’t know why it worked before and then stopped. But this fix seems seems to address the symptoms, if not identify the actual problem.

In reply to: www.domain won't load, domain without www. doesBrian, I edited the .htaccess file as you suggested. Unfortunately, nothing changed. omnimedianetworks.org works fine, but http://www.omnimedianetworks.org returns the error code listed above.

In reply to: www.domain won't load, domain without www. doesThanks, I will give that a try.
As for my site address settings changes, the problem occurred before that. This was one of my attempts to solve the problem. But when I changed one of the address fields in the WordPress/settings/general screen, it screwed everything up and I couldn’t get back to the dashboard. So I followed the description in http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL to temporarily edit the functions.php file. This got me back up and running, and I deleted the lines that I had added.

In reply to: www.domain won't load, domain without www. doesOK, please excuse my ignorance again. Here’s the content of my current .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
The article on .htaccess basics that briansteeleca gave the link to, suggests adding this code to the file to force users to use the non-www version of the domain:
# Redirect www urls to non-www
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yoursite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]Would this work, and would I just add this, or replace what is there? There is a warning on the page where the code came from that this might screw up WordPress.

Earlier I tried to change one and got totally screwed up and had to modify a file to change the settings back (and removed the settings from the file later).

In reply to: www.domain won't load, domain without www. doesYes, godaddy did check the htaccess file. Whatever they tried, it didn’t work.
As for reinstalling, I assume you mean download the wordpress files to my computer, and selectively FTP some of the files to the website? I’m not sure what CSS changes are (really a novice here), but I do use a certain theme that has been installed. I haven’t changed it, however.
