 My WordPress installs have, for some reason, started redirecting secondary
 domains to the main domain set in General settings. Before, this was only
 happening when trying to login on the secondary domains. You can view this
 behaviour at test.itwithme.ca, which redirects to test.itwithme.com. I
 know WordPress is causing this redirect because when I change the domain
 set as primary domain in General settings, the redirect also changes to
 redirect to this domain (so .com would start redirecting to .ca instead of
 the other way around). Also, my .htaccess files don't contain such a
 redirect, nor do my Apache sites-available config files. The only plugins
 I have installed are: all in one wp migration, litespeed cache, wordfence
 security, wp control. I also have Astra installed as the only theme.

 I think a redirect like this should never happen, not even when users are
 logging in. Because I want to serve different content based on the URL
 users are accessing the site from. This doesn't work (is impossible to do)
 with a redirect like this. Also it would be nice if users stayed on the
 same domain when logging in, so that their content doesn't change when
 logging in.

 I hope you can reproduce my error and fix it. Let me know if you need any
 more information!
