I recently posted a question to google webmasters because my site has been declining rapidly in traffic and rankings.

One of the issues they pointed out was that

Quote:
"Both mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com show the same site, so you have a canonical issue. You need to 301 redirect mysite.com to http://www.mysite.com .


They directed me to this tutorial:

http://sites.google.com/site/onlyvalidation/page/fix-canonical-issues-www-vs-non-www-and-more-on-apache-server

I added their first example to my existing .htaccess file. After doing this, my site appeared just fine from the front end, but if I try to log into the back end, the login page simply refreshes.

I'm attaching a "before" and "after" htaccess file (however in each, I'm substituting my real site name with "mysite.com")

I will appreciate any help!

Try this piece of code

Code:
########## Begin - Redirect non-www to www
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
########## End - Redirect non-www to www

########## Begin - Redirect www to non-www
## WARNING: Comment out the non-www to www rule if you choose to use this
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R,L]
########## End - Redirect non-www to www
