If you keep it in the WordPress # section, it will be removed anytime you have to rebuild the Permalinks data. * The 301 redirect flag indicates that it is permanent redirect. * ``` # BEGIN Custom # Redirect a user from HTTP to HTTPS RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # END Custom ``` * [Mithilesh Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mithilesh-kumar/) * (@mithilesh-kumar) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-to-https-8/#post-6421969) * Have you checked your domain is ssl certified or not if yes then you should add the following code in your .htaccess file. i hope it will help you. * RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) [https://%](https://%){ HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] * Thread Starter [criscmaia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/criscmaia/) * (@criscmaia) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-to-https-8/#post-6421972) * Thanks for the suggestion, guys. It didn’t work yet. * On Chrome, it gives the TOO_MANY_REDIRECTIONS error message. * Also, the website is ssl certified, [@mithilesh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mithilesh/) Kumar. * With the original .htcaccess, this is what happens: [https://www.dukescasino.com/](https://www.dukescasino.com/)– works perfectly [https://dukescasino.com/](https://dukescasino.com/) – redirects to the above which is great * The two options below loads fine, but it should redirect to the https version: [http://www.dukescasino.com/](http://www.dukescasino.com/) [http://dukescasino.com/](http://dukescasino.com/) * Here is the full .htcaccess file that gives the error message: * ``` RewriteEngine On # BEGIN WordPress RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # BEGIN Custom # Redirect a user from HTTP to HTTPS RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # END Custom ``` * [Mithilesh Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mithilesh-kumar/) * (@mithilesh-kumar) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-to-https-8/#post-6421973) * have u using woocommerce??? * Thread Starter [criscmaia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/criscmaia/) * (@criscmaia) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-to-https-8/#post-6421974) * Nope.

Which if the first is the case, then the entire block may be being skipped over, ignoring any redirect. This makes sense because the HTTP isn’t changing to HTTPS. * Also, I suggest adding “# END SECTION” to each # section. There are some plugins that change the .htaccess, and (as far as I know) they add code based on defined# sections. * I am not sure what is going on with this rule: * ``` RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] ``` * It’s not being impacted by any condition above it, so it could be causing some problems (esp since it’s flagged as Last). Make sure that those lines are the WordPress default code (I don’t know what that is, as I use optimized code instead, so this may in fact be right, idk). * ``` # BEGIN CRISCMAIA CUSTOM RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] # END CRISCMAIA CUSTOM # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress ``` * Thread Starter [criscmaia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/criscmaia/) * (@criscmaia) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-to-https-8/#post-6421980) * Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately, it didn’t work yet.

You have to find the .htaccess file on the root of your website (via FTP). * Download it to your pc, make a copy of it (just for backup purpose), open it with a Notepad (or similar), copy/paste the code, save the file, upload it back to the server overwriting the current file. * That should do.
