ie. when i remove the redirect code I mentioned from my htaccess file the redirect on wordpress works fine but on the forums it doesnt work. So clearly there is something somewhere which is causing the redirect. I'll look more into this later and try and fix that. Once I have that I'll then try the plugin out without a redirect in place and see if that is a problem. Have you tried the plugin without a redirect?

I've looked through the code and can see that the URL is stored in the .meta file for each cached file. This will be the URL that you see listed in your admin page. Looking through the code it simply stores the PHP variable of SERVER_NAME which is a global variable and just grabs the domain part of the address. If this is http://www.domain.com then it will have that in full.

So what I can only assume is that when your cached files were created, the actual URL being used was the non www version. Strange considering you have htaccess to use the www version.

At most I could change this variable into a constant of http://www.bloggingtips.com so that it would always have the 'www' in it. Just don't use it on any other domain

Let me know whether you want to try using it again and I'll send the file over

I've just tested this on a site that doesn't have a htccess (as it's on IIS) and uses the latest WP version.

Kevin, if you want I can take a look at the WP Cache plugin and determine where it sets the URLs and for it to add in 'www' into it. Perhaps things will work correctly then.

Good luck getting it figured out!

I think im heading in the right direction though. I removed the redirection from htaccess in my root folder and non www went to www on all wordpress pages but on the forums the redirect wasnt there. Therefore wordpress clearly has a redirection somewhere.

I just updated to the new version of wordpress the other day. Perhaps wordpress has some sort of redirect feature in it now (longshot).

p.s. many thanks for all your help

I already have that in my htaccess for bloggingtips. I was referring to the static pages this plugin generates. Even though I have the redirect on my htaccess and even though I have my blog settings at www, the plugin generates the pages without the www extension

thanks anyways

Not that it's a lot of help, but to let you know it can work: I'm running wp-cache on my blog, with an htaccess that redirects for canonicalization (though, I go for no www instead).
