Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers

  • I just loaded wordpress thru ipower hosting get the message “Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.” . I have a .htaccess at the root directory to point my website from lakeontariofishingcharters to https://www.lakeontariofishingcharters and when I remove it everything seems to work. This is what is in .htaccess:
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    rewritecond %{http_host} ^lakeontariofishingcharters.net [nc]
    rewriterule ^(.*)$ https://www.lakeontariofishingcharters.net/$1 [r=301,nc]
    I am a newbie to all this so try to keep it simple.

  • at the risk of asking the obvious, is there a reason why you cannot just remove the crap in the .htaccess that is causing the problem?

    The search engines look at the two a seperate websites and my total links and ranking is cut proportionatly!

    if you are interested in sending non-www urls to www urls or vise versa, thats can all be handled from within wordpress.
