  • @phenomlab all WordPress installations for domain or subdirectory is properly getting redirected to www. so i don’t want to add any rules in main ht access

    i want all requests to “ask” folder to be converted to www. https://www.domain.com/ask

    only flarum is not doing www. redirection

    if writing a global rule is the right approach i will try that

    @hari You should leverage the .htaccess inside the Flarum root directory and not touch anything else. If you set the forward here, it should work as planned.

    Let me know if you need any help.

    @phenomlab yes i want you to suggest/modify this for me

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com/ask [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]
    

    if i use this line in the subdirectory (flarum) it will redirect to to http?

    could you suggest me a line which only modify non www to www and doent touch the https or http thing since DNS is taking care of it.

    @hari said in Enable HSTS and make sure everything is HTTPS:

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]

    Before we do that, shouldn’t

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]
    

    Actually be

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/ask/$1 [L,R=301]
    

    ?

    @Panda said in Spam spam spam: ok, yes Ive seen the queue, it shows IP, but doesnt have a field for comments from registrant. It’s not designed for that. It merely serves as a gateway between posts appearing on your form or not. @Panda said in Spam spam spam: It would be better if nodebb had this plugin included in ACP list, as not only then do you know its approved and should work, but many people cant or dont want to use CLI on the server That’s a question for the NodeBB devs but in all honesty you can’t not use the CLI when installing nodebb so to be this isn’t a big deal.

    @Panda it will use SMTP. In all cases, I never use any plugin to send email. I’ll always send it raw.

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server. My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    @Onix said in Email Server Settings: If anyone has long-term experience with self-hosted SMTP + DNS set-ups that remain stable, would be great to hear which configurations worked best. I can help with this
