I have a WordPress site hosted on azure but recently when I visit the www.XXXX I am getting 301 redirect error. But when i access the naked domain it works fine.
I bought an Azure App service certicate that is linked to both subdomain and naked domain, DNS records also looks fine. I don't understand why all of a sudden www subdomain keeps getting 301 redirects
Kindly assist.
@Oluwaseun Osinuga The two previous times I have seen 301 status codes with a WordPress site, it was due to a plugin. The first time was due to an inactive plugin that was not getting updated and the older version of the plugin, even though inactive, caused the 301 status codes.
The second time I've seen this was when a plugin called Word Fence was causing the errors, which was made evident by reviewing the logs in -/nginx/php-logs
Can you please review the nginx log files to see if there is a misconfiguration within your site that might be causing this error?
In the Azure portal, from the left menu, select App Services > <app-name>. From the left navigation of your app, select TLS/SSL settings > Private Key Certificates (.pfx) > Create App Service Managed Certificate. Select the custom domain to create a free certificate for and select Create.

Ensure the preferred domain includes the www subdomain.
Check the DNS configuration to ensure the CNAME or A record for the www subdomain is correctly pointing to your Azure App Service.
Check any rewrite rules or redirect configurations affecting the www subdomain.
Check SSL certificate is properly set up for both the naked domain and the www subdomain.
Follow above test it might resolve your issue.
