Have you set up your custom domain on Kajabi using the "Create subdomain for Kajabi site" option? Did you choose to connect a subdomain with "www" in the URL? You'll likely want to set up a forwarding rule through your domain registrar to redirect the URL without "www" to the same site.


How to set up a URL Redirect on Bluehost

Note:
The redirect process described in this guide only applies if you've connected your custom domain using the "Create subdomain for Kajabi site" option in your Domain Settings. If you've connected your domain using the "Connect domain to Kajabi" option, there is no need to set up a forwarding rule.

First, check that your domain is set up properly in Kajabi:

  • Open the Settings tab from your Dashboard.
  • Then, click Domain.
  • Your domain should state that your custom domain is connected

Log into your Bluehost account and navigate to your cPanel.

  • Open Domains.
  • Then, click Redirects.
  • Fill out the Add Redirect fields.
  • Select Permanent 301 and then choose the correct Domain you want to edit in the dropdown menu.
  • Under "Redirects to → type in https://www.yourdomain.com.
  • Lastly, select Add and test it in your browser.
