How do I redirect http://www.example.com to http://example.com?
I am using LEMP, Nginx, Wordpress.
Qn 1: To which file should I add the below code to?
server { server_name www.example.com; return 301 $scheme://example.com$request_uri; }
I have a few files in mind (I followed your tutorials)
- /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress
- /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Qn 2: If I add the above code, must I still do the DNS part on CNAME (www and @)? Or can I skip this step?
