This is tested and safe to use Why   When Wordpress editing your re-write rules  so make sure your HTTPS rule should not be removed  so this is no conflict with native Wordpress rules   lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt     RewriteCond   HTTPS    on    RewriteRule       https     SERVER NAME   1  R L   lt  IfModule gt     BEGIN WordPress  lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt     Your our Wordpress rewrite rules     lt  IfModule gt    END WordPress  Note  You have to change WordPress Address  amp  Site Address urls to https    in General Settings also  wp-admin options-general php

Problem solved   Final  htaccess    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase    RewriteCond   ENV HTTPS    on RewriteRule      https     SERVER NAME   REQUEST URI   R L     BEGIN WordPress RewriteRule  index  php  -  L  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule    index php  L   lt  IfModule gt

None if this worked for me  First of all I had to look at my provider to see how they activate SSL in  htaccess my provider gives    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt     RewriteEngine On    RewriteCond   HTTP HTTPS   on    RewriteRule      https     SERVER NAME   1  QSA L R 301   lt  IfModule gt    But what took me days of research is I had to add to wp-config php the following lines as my provided site is behind a proxy           Force le SSL     define  FORCE SSL ADMIN   true   if  strpos   SERVER  HTTP X FORWARDED PROTO     https       false    SERVER  HTTPS    on

Just add or replace this code in your  htaccess file in wordpress    BEGIN WordPress  lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase    RewriteCond   HTTPS    on RewriteRule   https     HTTP HOST   REQUEST URI   L R 301   RewriteRule  index  php  -  L  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule    index php  L   lt  IfModule gt     END WordPress

Here is an alternative solution you can use if you don t want to edit  htaccess   add action   template redirect    nonhttps template redirect   1     function nonhttps template redirect          if   is ssl                if   0     strpos    SERVER  REQUEST URI     https                     wp redirect  preg replace     http        https        SERVER  REQUEST URI      301                 exit               else                wp redirect   https         SERVER  HTTP HOST       SERVER  REQUEST URI    301                 exit                           You can place this at the bottom of your theme functions php

Add this in the WordPress   htaccess file   RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   yoursite com  NC OR  RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   www yoursite com  NC  RewriteRule        https   www yoursite com  1  L R 301 NC    Therefore the default WordPress   htaccess file should look like this    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase   RewriteRule  index  php  -  L  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule    index php  L   RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   yoursite com  NC OR  RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   www yoursite com  NC  RewriteRule        https   www yoursite com  1  L R 301 NC   lt  IfModule gt

I found all solutions listed on this Q amp A did not work for me  unfortunately  What did work was     BEGIN WordPress  lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase   RewriteRule  index  php  -  L     add a trailing slash to  wp-admin RewriteRule  wp-admin  wp-admin   R 301 L   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME  -f  OR  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME  -d RewriteRule   -  L  RewriteRule   wp- content admin includes      1  L  RewriteRule       php    1  L  RewriteRule   index php  L   RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   example  com   OR  RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   www  example  com  RewriteRule       https      www  example  com     R 301 L   lt  IfModule gt    End Wordpress   Note  the above Wordpress rules are for Wordpress in multi user network mode  If your Wordpress is in single site mode  you would use     BEGIN WordPress  lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase   RewriteRule  index  php  -  L  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule    index php  L   RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   example  com   OR  RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   www  example  com  RewriteRule       https      www  example  com     R 301 L   lt  IfModule gt    End Wordpress

easyest way to redirect http to https in wordpress it to modify site url and home from http   example com to https   example com  Wordpress will do the redirection    that is why you get  too many redirects  error  wordpress is redirecting to http while  htaccess will redirect to https

User · Answer

Redirect from http to https   www   RewriteEngine On RewriteCond   HTTP HOST   example  com  NC  RewriteCond   SERVER PORT  80 RewriteRule        https   www example com  1  R 301 L     This will work for sure

In my case  the htaccess file contained lots of rules installed by plugins like Far Future Expiration and WPSuperCache and also the lines from wordpress itself   In order to not mess things up  I had to put the solution at the top of htaccess  this is important  if you put it at the end it causes some wrong redirects due to conflicts with the cache plugin    lt IfModule mod rewrite c gt  RewriteEngine On RewriteBase    RewriteCond   HTTPS  off RewriteRule   https     HTTP HOST   REQUEST URI   L R 301   lt  IfModule gt    This way  your lines don t get messed up by wordpress in case some settings change  Also  the  lt IfModule gt  section can be repeated without any problems   I have to thank Jason Shah for the neat htaccess rule

For your information  it really depends on your hosting provider   In my case  Infomaniak   nothing above actually worked and I got infinite redirect loop   The right way to do this is actually explained in their support site   RewriteEngine on RewriteCond   HTTP X-Forwarded-Proto   https RewriteRule      https   your-domain com  1  R 301 L    So  always check with your hosting provider  Hopefully they have an article explaining how to do this  Otherwise  just ask the support
