Question Installing Wordpress through Plesk with www.domain name

[PSi_101]

When installing Wordpress through Plesk, it doesn't give you the option to install it under www.domainname.com, it only lets you choose domainname.com.
Apart from installing it manually outside of Plesk is there a way to do this?

Please go to Hosting Settings and set preferred domain with www prefix. After that, your WordPress site visitors will be redirected to www.domain.com via a SEO-safe HTTP 301 redirect.

That won’t work will it? WordPress is only listening for domain.com so it won’t respond to www.domain.com

While installing new WordPress instance, www prefix will be added to instance URL if redirection to www (preferred domain) configured on the corresponding domain.

I tried that but the www still didn't show in the URL when installing Wordpress via the APS package.

I talked about installing through Plesk WordPress Toolkit.

Hello,

What I have done:
- Select main domain with preferred domain without www prefix
- Install APS wordpress to the domain
- Change preferred domain to www in hosting parameters
After that Wordpress changed automatically URL in DB to "www.domain.tld"

I tried that but the www still didn't show in the URL when installing Wordpress via the APS package.
