WordPress does this automatically, I would double check your DNS and see if you have a cname for www. – Gareth Davies

This happens when your DNS has insufficient configuration. Your site already has an A record ("example.com" that points at some IP).

But you also need to make the www-part work by adding a CNAME record. CNAME can be configured in two basic ways:

  • *.example.com - handles all traffic such as "www.example.com" or "foo.example.com".
  • www.example.com - only handle traffic with the www.example.com sub-domain.

So you have:

A Record

Host: example.com
IP: 5.5.5.5

CNAME

Host: *.example.com (or www.example.com)

Remember also to add a MX record if you want to configure the mail domain.

Write below code in your .htaccess file

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

Try to follow below steps:

1) Add CNAME record for www and set value/points to as @. OR you can do vice-versa
2) Under Wordpress, Set your domain with www under Home and Site URL. e.g. www.example.com
3) Add redirect code in .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

In Wordpress, #3 is optional. Wordpress will manage automatically to open site with www if you set as per #2.

Write this in your .htaccess file:

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