* [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/running-redirect-from-http-www-to-https/)
* This is my htaccess file. Its long
I need to run a redirect for www. http to
[https://mywebsite.com](https://mywebsite.com) Anyone know how i do this. I have
put some code down in the wordpress section, but it screws up the css, it redirects,
but its like the css is screwed up. Im not sure if its the caching program or
not. THE CODE I HAVE TRIED is this RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) [https://%](https://%){HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
* but with that the css is messed up
this is my htaccess file

* Hello [@workky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workky/),
* The problem is that the website is requesting CSS and JS files through http,
the browser is blocking that for security reasons (insecure content).
Try installing
a plugin such as this one: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-https-littlebizzy/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-https-littlebizzy/)
I hope this helps

* Hey Marko, Thank You
I cant believe that worked, would rather do it without
a plugin, but heck, it was easy
