  • Does have a serious bug

    Sad to say this was exactly what I wanted, a simple redirect for non www to www. However the plugin does cause a critical error when activated (Sept 2022) but does still work and site can be accessed okay. As I am not tech savvy I deleted and switched to a more complicated alternative plugin, which I didn't want to do. Developer, be good if you fix this!
