htaccess rewrite (old domain to new domain both www and non-www)

Question

I am attempting to do redirect an old domain (regardless of whether it has a www prefix) to a new domain without the www. e.g.: olddomain.com > newdomain.com www.olddomain.com > newdomain.com I've got it so that the redirects from non-www are working, but the if www is used, the domain does not redirect. This is on a Wordpress site, so I'm including the bits that Wordpress uses, too. ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # ### Begin custom domain redirect ### RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.olddomain.com\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^.*$ http://newdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^.*$ http://newdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # ### End custom domain redirect, back to the standard WP stuff ### RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] ```

Accepted Answer

Try:

```
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)olddomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
```

which will handle incoming URLs with and without the www.

And move the `RewriteBase /` to above the WP block; it may be causing a problem being in the wrong place.

```
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
```
