  I’ve tried everything and perhaps what’s left is DNS coding but not sure since no coding example exists !

  Hi there,

  Please note that WordPress.com automatically removes the “www” from all URLs. Any traffic to http://www.1judaica.com will be redirected to 1judaica.com.

  Redirecting the first version of your URL to the second version helps to ensure that search engines index your site properly.

  Please let me know if you have any questions!

  That’s my question. What is the required redirect code and where is it put ? htaccess file editable in your version of wordpress ? I noticed new version 3.8 has under General..Settings tab a place to specify the URL with www. You’re online version doesn’t !! Is it up-gradable ?

  Please some real answers..

  You’ve reached support for the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com. Are you talking about the self-hosted/installed version of WordPress (using the free WordPress.org software)?

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. You can read more about that here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
