Title Body

I have two domain names setup with sub-domains as follows... blog.domain.com www.blog.domain.com blog.domain.info www.blog.domain.info Both domains are pointing to the same location on the same server, a directory containing WordPress. (domain.com/blog) To keep Google happy, I want everything to redirect to this one domain... blog.domain.com Here is what's inside the .htaccess file contained in the WordPress directory... # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress So I went into my cPanel and added a 301 Domain Redirect as follows... blog.domain.info -> blog.domain.com (with "www" optional and wildcard selected). cPanel then automatically added the following to the same .htaccess file under the WordPress rewrite rules... RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.domain.info$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.blog.domain.info$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/blog\.domain\.com$1" [R=301,L] The problem is that the wildcard portion does not seem to work. When I go to blog.domain.info , I get redirected to blog.domain.com as expected. But when I go to blog.domain.info/my-post , I do not get redirected at all. How can I fix this? I've tried rewrite rules that I know work but all I can think of is that the WordPress rules are interfering. Once it's fixed, can I move these mod-rewrites to the main .htaccess in the hosting account's www root keeping them separate from the WordPress rules? Edit: Answer- NO, they will not work because they are domains parked in directories off the root www.</
