 * I could not get my site to force https from http links. [http://www](http://www)
   WOULD forward to [https://www](https://www) but http:// would not forward to 
   https:// (without the www). I added numerous variations of 301’s , rewtites etc
   to my htaccess file and each and every one will redirect loop and stop the page
   from loading. Then I found it, Browser Settings > Security Headers > HTTP Strict
   Transport Security policy checking this, which adds a line to htaccess fixed 
   the redirect loop issues with other force https options. Only took one day and
   I found it before deleting and reinstalling W3TC.
