htaccess redirection

Hi,

I would like to add the following redirections to my website:
– add trailing slash
– redirect non-www to www
– redirect http to https

In my site admin panel, I have configured the site url to https://www. and at this moment the http is redirected to https. I don’t see this rule in htaccess, so I guess this might be redirected by wordpress or google chrome.

I would like to add the following rules:

#### Force HTTPS://WWW and remove trailing / from files ####
## Turn on rewrite engine
RewriteEngine on

# Remove trailing slash from non-filepath urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.+)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com/%1 [R=301,L]

# Include trailing slash on directory 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.+)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ https://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,L]

# Force HTTPS and WWW 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{https} off  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

looking at my htaccess, I see the following rewrite conditions at the top of my htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
# De richtlijnen (regels) tussen <code>BEGIN WordPress</code> and <code>END WordPress</code> worden
# dynamisch aangemaakt en zouden enkel aangepast mogen worden via WordPress filters.
# Elke wijziging aan deze richtlijnen tussen deze markeringen worden overschreven.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

as well as the following code from cache-enaber:

# BEGIN Cache Enabler
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # set blog sub path
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "^(.*)$" SUB_PATH=/wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/

    # set Cache Enabler path
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "^(.*)$" CE_PATH=$1
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "^(/)index.php$" CE_PATH=$1

    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
        # webp HTML file
        RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} /$
        RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} !^/wp-admin/.*
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in|comment_author)_
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept} image/webp
        RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index-webp.html.gz -f
        RewriteRule ^(.*) %{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index-webp.html.gz [L]

        # gzip HTML file
        RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} /$
        RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} !^/wp-admin/.*
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in|comment_author)_
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
        RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index.html.gz -f
        RewriteRule ^(.*) %{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index.html.gz [L]

        AddType text/html .gz
        AddEncoding gzip .gz
    </IfModule>

    # webp HTML file
    RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} /$
    RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} !^/wp-admin/.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in|comment_author)_
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept} image/webp
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index-webp.html -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*) %{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index-webp.html [L]

    # default HTML file
    RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} /$
    RewriteCond %{ENV:CE_PATH} !^/wp-admin/.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in|comment_author)_
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index.html -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*) %{ENV:SUB_PATH}%{HTTP_HOST}%{ENV:CE_PATH}index.html [L]

    # wp override
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [END]
</IfModule>
# END Cache Enabler

Now I think I have duplicate rewrite rules, which can / should be simplified.

But besides that, by adding the rules I have posted at the beginning of this message to the top of my htaccess, I get an error saying: too many redirects.

Could you help me out setting up the correct htaccess rules, while keep using the htaccess static page functionality of cache-enabler?

Thank you!
