Facebook login : works without WWW but not with WWW

[janderson]

So check it out - my forums http://cdjw.org/forums allows you to login with facebook but if you put www in front of it, so http://www.cdjw.org/forums it does not work. Any ideas?

If you use http://cdjw.org/forums/ as your main URL, setup a 301 redirection rule in .htaccess to redirect www to the non-www version of your site.

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

Yeah I know I can redirect, but thats not really a fix.

I do appreciate it though.

Well it kind of is a fix though.

Your forum should only be served from one (sub) domain, not different ones. It will not work properly since you can only set one base URL in the vBulletin settings. By instantly redirecting the user to the proper URL, they will not face any issues.

What Dave said. And it will not only fix Facebook login but also regular login as well as Google duplicate content issue which is very important to fix for SEO purposes.
