Yes,
it is generally possible to add "www" to the URL in WordPress SEO
plugin settings without causing issues with HTTPS, but it depends on your
specific website setup and configuration.
When
you change the URL structure in WordPress, including adding or removing
"www," it's important to ensure that your web server is properly
configured to handle the changes.
If
your site is already set up with HTTPS (SSL/TLS), adding "www" to the
URL shouldn't inherently cause issues with HTTPS, but you need to make sure
that your SSL certificate is valid for both the "www" and
non-"www" versions of your domain.
Here
are the general steps you should take:
1. Update
WordPress settings: Go to your
WordPress dashboard, navigate to Settings
> General, and update both the "WordPress Address (URL)" and
"Site Address (URL)" fields to include "www" if desired.
2. Update your
web server configuration: If you're
using Apache, you may need to set up a redirect from non-"www" to "www" or vice versa in your
.htaccess file. If you're using Nginx, you'll need to update your server block
configuration accordingly.
3. Update your
SSL certificate: Ensure that your
SSL certificate covers both the "www"
and non-"www" versions of your domain. If necessary, you may need
to obtain a new SSL certificate or modify your existing one.
4. Test
thoroughly: After making
these changes, thoroughly test your website to ensure that everything is working
correctly. Check for any mixed content warnings, broken links, or other issues
that may arise from the URL change.
5. Monitor for
issues: Keep an eye on your website's
performance and search engine rankings after making the URL change. If you
notice any unexpected issues, address them promptly.
By
following these steps and ensuring that your website's configuration is
properly updated, you should be able to add
"www" to the URL in WordPress SEO plugin settings without causing
issues with HTTPS.
However,
if you're unsure or uncomfortable making these changes yourself, consider
consulting with a web developer or system administrator for assistance.
