  hi,

  here is my DNS setting in wordpress.

  A funselect.com.tw by WordPress.com
  NS funselect.com.tw by WordPress.com
  CNAME *.funselect.com.tw by WordPress.com
  CNAME http://www.funselect.com.tw funselect.com.tw. alias

  I should assign A http://www.funselect.com.tw to directly link IP,
  but I can’t set it up in the config menu.
  IP looks like to determined by wordpress.

  I only can setup ‘CNAME http://www.funselect.com.tw funselect.com.tw. alias’
  but when I type http://www.funselect.com.tw in the browser ,
  then ‘www’ will disapear in the address bar.

  but I want everyone can see www subdomain on my website.
  please tell me how to do it, thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  In theory, you can map the WWW subdomain to WordPress.com, instead of the normal domain mapping

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  This would force keep the http://www.funselect.com.tw in place when folks type it in. But following those instructions, if someone just visited funselect.com.tw it wouldn’t redirect http://www.funselect.com.tw appropriately.

  To make both work, you’d need to purchase a mapping upgrade for both funselect.com.tw and http://www.funselect.com.tw .

  Is there a reason you always need www displayed? It doesn’t have a functional impact for your readers and it would basically cost twice the price.

  Hi Alex

  Thank you for your reply.
  The reason I wanna show www subdomain is just idiomatic on internet.

  I already have a purchase of http://funselect.com.tw for domain mapping. And I tired to purchase another mapping upgrade for http://www.funselect.com.tw, then it will show that I can’t use the same domain to mapping again.

  I think http://www.funselect.com.tw and http://funselect.com.tw would be seem as the same domain.

  But still thanks for your help, if you have any other solutions can let “www” won;t dispear in the address bar. Please let me know in anytime.
