Default WordPress behaviour with multiple domains
-
Can anyone clarify what the default behaviour is for WordPress when more than one domain points to a WordPress site. Should WordPress always redirect to the wp_home and wp_siteurl addresses (which are the same in this case)? Or will WordPress serve the site on whatever domain has been called?
We have some sites where the root domain doesn’t redirect to the www. until we disable a specific plugin, then the redirection does happen.
(I’m aware we can do this in .htaccess, I want to know what the default behaviour of WordPress is for troubleshooting)

Hi there:
Since it sounds like your site is not hosted with us (because we don’t allow editing of .htaccess files here at WordPress.com), we’re limited in what we can help with and advise. But I can get you pointed in the right direction to get help.
The good news is that because your host uses the open-source variant of the WordPress platform (which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com), help is available at the community forums here:
https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/
The folks in the open-source forum are more familiar with these issues and are in the best position to help.
I hope this points you in the right direction.
