I communicated the wrong URL to many people for my github pages site:
I gave them the URL https://www.[username].github.io instead of https://[username].github.io...
I feel super dumb about it, but it's hard for me to notify the people of the change.
Is there a way to redirect https://www.[username].github.io to https://[username].github.io from the github pages projet ?
Or is there another way to fix this ?
Any help would be very welcome, I'm quite desperate here :/
The answer seems to be a plain "no". You have no control over the subdomain.
By the way, it is more or less a standard to redirect www.[...] to [...] it is a shame that github does not do it.
But there is no denial, the mistake was totally mine.

I wondered if someone could answer this question.
When putting in place 301 redirects for an old website to a new website. Would the metadata from the old website show on Google. If so, what is the best way to resole this?
How will our meta description, google preview and such like be impacted by the redirect? Meaning, will the current ones still show up once the redirect is in place, or will it be the meta description and google preview of the url it is being pointed to?
I guess that question applies to pretty much all of the current site settings/errors. Will we still be ranked on these and therefore is it in our interest to fix any errors with on the old site or should all the focus be on the destination domain, i.e. will any errors or settings on the referring domain no longer matter?
Anyone here familiar with AdminLTE? Not sure what is wrong but one of my pages redirects me to https://github.com/ColorlibHQ/AdminLTE. It was working for a while but now it's giving me this bug even though I did not do anything with the code.
Humbly asking for any assistance people have time to give me on this one. Let me start by saying that I am aware there are previous questions about this on this site and elsewhere on the web; I have read a lot of them, and they are either unanswered/resolved, had a particular cause that doesn't apply to me, or suggests things I have already done.
Over the past few days, Facebook has suddenly stopped scraping my website posts successfully, so when I paste a link into Facebook it pulls nothing through - no thumb or description. I run the links through the FB lint/debugger, and it alternates between 403 and 503 response codes, but mainly 403. Previous links that Facebook has cached/successfully scraped still display with thumbs and desc, but still present as a 403 or 503 response.
My site is http://21stcenturyburlesque.com
One of the new URLs I have been testing is : http://21stcenturyburlesque.com/the-burlesque-top-50-2013/
I have checked with the server/host people. Nothing has changed, everything fine.
I have tried with the default wordpress theme. No change.
I have read threads about Bullet Proof Security causing issues, although why it suddenly would I don't know. It was deactivated on my site anyway, but I went through the removal process to remove the htaccess file with the BPS code in it. I have then run debug without an htaccess file present, and with a very basic htaccess present. No change.
Hotlinking protection is disabled in my cpanel.
I have experimented with adding/removing www. and / when I paste the link into lint as someone suggested. No change.
I use Facebook OGP Wordpress plugin. I spoke to the creator and he says the plugin is working as it should and to contact my host/server. See bullet one.
I tried creating a new FB App and using the new App Id number with the OGP plugin. No change.
Checked the cpanel error log. This came up three times tonight:
[Fri Nov 01 21:47:53 2013] [error] [client 193.242.149.35] File does not exist: /home/**/public_html/403.shtml
There are a few other things I ruled out but I've been at this for so long I can't remember all of them, so if someone suggests something else I've tried then I apologise for not mentioning it here in advance.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I would really appreciate it. I manage to fix most technical problems I come up against, but this has stumped me and my much more experienced colleague and it is really affecting my clickthrough rates and site traffic. If it comes down to adding things to my htaccess file, I would appreciate guidance on what to add/remove. Many thanks in advance.
I had the same problem. Drove me crazy for hours (maybe days). In your FB app settings make sure that the top Facebook url has http://
I was asked to make a website for a restaurant that recently changed owners. They wanted a new URL. The owner of the old site enacted a redirect to the new site.
Old site: http://www.refugelounge.com
New site: http://www.therefugeyc.com
I don't know a lot about redirects but I have a sneaking suspicion that whatever it is going on here is hurting the new site's pagerank and traffic. The old URL comes up first in Google and shows up as an exact clone of the new site. And when visiting the old site, the URL remains static no matter what page is visited.
What's going on here? Thanks.
Yep, that's bad.
They use frames (frameset + frame). Despite being obsolete ("must not be used by authors"), frames are bad for usability (it's not possible for users to link to a specific page).
They should use a HTTP 301 redirect.
I use JA_Rasite template for my site:www.nll.com.vn. But now when I visit my site on mobie it auto redirect to random(unwanted) site. Sometime it is porn site, sometime is adverting site. Anyone have a solution to fix this problems?
If you're sure that it depends on the template you are using, most probably it's got hacked and the first thing to do is to reinstall the original JA_Rasite template package.
Of course you'd better check and secure your site to prevent further attacks.
