How to fix 301 redirection from s.w.org to wordpress.org

    Hello,
    I hope I am in the right place to ask this. I ran my home page url on W3C Link Checker.

    It found at Line: 1 https://s.w.org/ being 301 redirected to https://wordpress.org/.
    It said this was a permanent redirect and should be updated. I presume to https://wordpress.org/. Status: 301 -> 200 OK.

    I am not a coder but would be grateful if you could let me know how to update this link as suggested.

    I have the Really Simple SSL Plugin installed from when the SSL certificate was installed to convert my site to https some time ago.

    And in HTAccess:

    # WP REWRITE LOOP START
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

    Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your reply.

    The site I need help with is [visible only to staff] (email visible only to moderators and staff). It is not hosted by WordPress.com, but it is connected with Jetpack.

    Hi there!

    I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you here as your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Digital Pacific.

    Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites hosted elsewhere; we can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

    You can look for help at the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

    At WordPress.com, we take care of the SSL so you wouldn’t have to install any plugins for that. If you’d like to consider moving your site to our servers, you can have a look at these two pages:
