I’ve applied the following to my .htaccess file for [www.dibleymarine.com](http://www.dibleymarine.com)

However - on checking it, it doesn’t seem to work

I’m sure it’s just a syntax problem - but it’s beyond me

Funnily it worked right away for [peteryates.co.uk](http://peteryates.co.uk)

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} ^dibleymarine.com$ [NC]  
RewriteRule (.\*) [https://www.dibleymarine.com/$1](https://www.dibleymarine.com/$1) [R=301,L]

edit …

Sorry for the first incorrect answer earlier — I only noticed it now in the source code.

One page was created with **RW Classic (Stacks)** and the other with **RW Elements**.

In **Elements** , the canonical meta tag is generated automatically for regular pages.

In **RW Classic** , however, you need to set it manually for each page, unless you use the SEO tool from a well-known third-party provider.
