How to redirect http to https in your WordPress website using your .htaccess file

October 26, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

If you are using WordPress and have updated your website with a SSL to have https for the url instead of http you may want to have the website redirect http urls to https. That way it may help when people type in http urls to redirect them to the https url instead. You can put this code in your .htaccess file using FTP to do that.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

You should be very careful when you edit the htaccess file.
