Title: Only redirect http to https version Last modified: September 24, 2020 --- # Only redirect http to https version * Resolved [chcw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chcw/) * (@chcw) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/) * Hi, * I have already installed SSL certificate on our site, and set a redirect directive to redirect from http to https in .htaccess. However, the redirect does not work in a subfolder. I describe the situation in details at [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/375300/redirect-http-to-https-does-not-work-on-subdir-where-another-instance-of-wordpre](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/375300/redirect-http-to-https-does-not-work-on-subdir-where-another-instance-of-wordpre) * I just wonder if I install your plugin for the WordPress instance under /blogs/, will it be able to solve my problem? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fonly-redirect-http-to-https-version%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Support [Leon Wimmenhoeve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leonwimmenhoeve/) * (@leonwimmenhoeve) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13449824) * Hi [@chcw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chcw/), * It should work if you install Really Simple SSL on the subdomain as well. The plugin should determine the best way to configure your .htaccess automatically. * If you still run into any problems, please feel free to reach out again! * Kind regards, Leon * [tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/) * (@tobyw7) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13458373) * I think I am getting the same problem. * I have a WordPress blog at [http://www.frantik-web.co.uk/franblog](http://www.frantik-web.co.uk/franblog). If I access the link like so, it just loads the website [http://www.frantik-web.co.uk](http://www.frantik-web.co.uk) and not the WordPress site. If I load the https link explicitly, then the site loads eg: [https://frantik-web.co.uk/franblog/](https://frantik-web.co.uk/franblog/) * This was working fine until recently. The things I have changed, updated to PHP 7.4 and updated to WordPress 5.5.1 - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/). * Plugin Contributor [Rogier Lankhorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rogierlankhorst/) * (@rogierlankhorst) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13459156) * [@tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/), * I think in your case you can just enable the .htaccess 301 redirect in settings/ ssl, which should resolve your issue. * [tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/) * (@tobyw7) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13460095) * The odd thing is, the 301 redirect is already enabled in the settings. * [tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/) * (@tobyw7) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13460214) * I have just created a new htaccess based on the following [https://htaccessbook.com/htaccess-redirect-https-www/](https://htaccessbook.com/htaccess-redirect-https-www/) and this seems to be working correctly. Not sure why the problem started though. * Went back into WP and also enabled “Enable WordPress 301 redirection to SSL” as it threw an error. - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [tobyw7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobyw7/). * Thread Starter [chcw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chcw/) * (@chcw) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13460911) * I also solved the problem via .htaccess * [lizrosling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizrosling/) * (@lizrosling) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13925112) * Hi there, * I have recently set up my website and noticed that it works for both http and https. I’m tracking the pages on Google Search Console and getting data for both pages. * Do I need to redirect the http pages to https? When I use the http page it comes up as not secure and I’m quite new to this so not sure of the best actions to take. * Thanks * Website: [https://writingcontently.com/](https://writingcontently.com/) * Plugin Support [Leon Wimmenhoeve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leonwimmenhoeve/) * (@leonwimmenhoeve) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-redirect-http-to-https-version/#post-13926798) * [@lizrosling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lizrosling/) If you are using Really Simple SSL on this site, please enable the 301 redirect. That should redirect all users to https. The .htaccess redirect is preferred, as it works with caching and is faster than the WordPress (PHP) redirect. * Please open a new thread if you have any further questions.
