I have been struggling for a few weeks with an issue that I am unable to fix, and I am not getting what to do now. In Google Search Console, Assume page with a redirect error for my website https://example.com.
http://example.com
http://www.example.com
https://www.example.comI can understand these redirect errors because in my .htaccess file, I redirect users from HTTP to HTTPS and from www to non-www, i.e., https://example.com. My .htaccess file code is written below:
# BEGIN LSCACHE
# END LSCACHE
# BEGIN NON_LSCACHE
# END NON_LSCACHE
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com/
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [R 301,L]
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPressMy WordPress settings are set to https://example.com my links in the XML sitemap use https. I inserted the below code snippet in the .htaccess file after code RewriteEngine On for redirecting to non-www and https versions of the website and started new validation, google validation failed thrice. I still have not gotten a fix for the page with the redirect error appearing in the Google search console under the page indexing section.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com/
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [R 301,L]
