hey guys,
Any of you had a problem with www. version of your discourse website?
http and https works properly but when I enter the URL starting with www. it doesn’t load.
When I saw this, I have made an A record for [www.mydiscoursewebsite.com](http://www.mydiscoursewebsite.com) to server IP address but it didn’t do the trick.
Any ideas?
Update:
[www.meta.discourse.org](http://www.meta.discourse.org) also is not working for me.

I didn’t mean discourse’s website. I meant my own discourse website. My forum that is based on discourse app.

Ohh gotcha. What do your dns settings look like for your domain name?

It is set correctly. I am afraid that [www.meta.discourse.org](http://www.meta.discourse.org) also having the same issue. Or maybe its designed that way? Could I call an issue?

soo… I think you need to read up on subdomains and how they work.
`discourse.org` is the root domain
`meta` is the subdomain (and we point it do our discourse site)
`www` is also a subdomain but we point it to our website
I do think it might be possible to have sub-sub domains(???), but www.meta is not a valid subdomain in our dns.

It’s probably not, because you’re having issues.

Ok. What I did was created an A record for [www.forums.domain.com](http://www.forums.domain.com) and pointed it to my server IP. I just wasn’t patient enough.
Now the www. version automatically redirects the traffic to [https://forums.domain.com](https://forums.domain.com)

Although, wouldn’t that be nicer to have www version too?
I am saying because google webmaster considers it important to add www version of your website to the console.

Use DNS controls to redirect one form to the other.
