.htaccess redirects with falcon engine

  • Hi, can someone advise me?

    I was until last night using wpsupercache, but deleted it in favour of Falcon- one less plugin to deal with. All that seemed to go fine, and the site is working, but I have 4 domain urls, all of which, with and without www would redirect and display a single url.To try to explain better
    www mcoptom.ie is redirected to and displayed https://www.mcleishoptometrists.com in the browser address bar. I have 2 other domains that did the same. But now they don’t.

    I also have numerous 301 redirects in the htaccess file. They were put in January 12 as I moved to wordpress, and changed the site structure slightly. Perhaps at this point I should just delete them all- all search engines must have got the hint by now?!?

    Since installing Falcon, my domain redirects do not work- is that because Falcon is at the top of the htaccess file? Should I move “my” redirects above Falcons? Does it matter where in the .htaccess file Falcon is sitting?

    I don’t want to mess up falcon if all these redirects are going to prevent it working. It wasn’t an issue with WPSC, but it sat lower in the htaccess file, but perhaps it was slower down there than at the top.

    I would like opinions about old 301 redirects, and also where to put my domain redirects- I do want them to function.

    Many thanks, Ian

    PS I don’t know if it makes a difference, but it is the Premium version, not free WF.

    The mods will likely tell you to go to the premium support site (support.wordfence.com) but in the interest of helping someone else in case they have this issue, I would try adding the domain redirects to the top and ditching the 301’s altogether (unless anyone has good ideas about them – feel free to chime in). Test and see how things work out. Let us know.
