7. Find a file named .htaccess within the root directory, right-click the file to reveal a menu, then select Edit to open the editor

8. Now, into the editor copy and paste your redirect rule and save.

And, add the below code to redirect from non-www URL to www URL:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com 
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Save the .htaccess file.

After that, without the www type your URL in your browser to confirm it’s redirecting to the www version.
