• With the new version of WordPress, do you need to do anything other than change the General Settings to reflect https://www.yourdomian.com in order for all web browsers to load a website as https and not http? Beyond purchasing and having the certificate installed.

    And just FYI, I moved this site using Backup Buddy…which I’m sure most of you know it allows you to change the site’s URL when installing.

    Right clicking and looking at the source code, I see that some plugins still have show http, and theme files. The site loads with https in mozilla, but not in chrome, safari or explorer.

    And yes, the site owner wants the entire site secure.

    And how can I be 100% sure that search engines are only indexing https, and not http as well?

    I tried forcing https using .htaccess. Maybe I have something wrong here…

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.hcis.md/$1 [R,L]
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    But I get this error when trying to load the page:

    Chrome: This webpage has a redirect loop

    Mozilla:

    The page isn’t redirecting properly

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

    Help, anyone? Thanks.

    See Changing_The_Site_URL for details of how to do this correctly.

    I’d like to be sure I’m understanding this entirely. I understand that I do need to go through all of the database & files, but…

    If, in WP settings AND in the database the site url and home are configured properly with https, AND and the post urlS, but other links within the site have not yet been fixed (even if it’s only a couple of links), then when the site is loaded in a browser, posts and pages will NOT automatically go to https, but rather go to http?

    In SOME browsers, all pages go to http. Loaded in firefox, the homepage goes to https, but if typed in manually, other pages do NOT go to https (menu links on the site go to https just fine).

    I’ve tried the methods in the link supplied in esmi’s post above:

    edit wp-config.php
    edit theme’s functions.php
    relocation method

    Just seems odd that if post, home & site URLs in the database have https, some browsers don’t follow this…

    wp-content/plugins/vr-visitas

    Ate these links within Posts or Pages?

    I don’t have that plugin installed.
