      how to install wordpress using www.
      I have tried to fill in the subdomain column with www but failed to install.
      For DNS settings, I have set DNS www. cname to domain address. but still it can't.

        Hi there,

        in such a case, on Cloudron you would setup a redirection instead https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/#setting-up-redirections

        This will allow the app (in this case wordpress) to operate on a single specific domain (either www.example.com or example.com) while being reachable from both.

          Did the redirect feature help?

            No.

            I've got an Unmanaged WordPress at https://uniteddiversity.coop

            I tried adding www as a redirect, but nothing was reachable at www.uniteddiversity.coop

            So then I tried it the other way around, with the app at www and blank for the redirect. But still nothing was reachable at www

            I'm using Gandi LiveDNS. Visiting Gandi to check my DNS it didn't look like any www A records were added.

              Can you just install a test app on www. and then check those app logs tell about it. Not sure if Gandi maybe has special handling for www only?

                @jdaviescoates For what it's worth in case this helps at all, I have all my main WordPress apps at www as the main and blank for redirects, and they all work. Hosting about 15 of them or so, approximately. Using DigitalOcean for DNS records though, not Gandi.

                  Will do. Quite possible I just didn't wait long enough too I guess...

                    I think that was it. I actually first tried just adding www redirect again to my WordPress at https://uniteddiversity.coop and waited a bit before trying it and it works fine. Sorry, should've been more patient in the first place!
