    I am using Really Simple SSL for the 1st time. I would like to know which
   settings I should activate and what they do.

 * The default settings are fine. Additionally, I always recommend to enable one
   setting that is not enabled by default: the .htaccess 301 redirect. This is the
   fastest redirect method.

 * That option is the 3rd one here, right?: [https://screenshots.firefox.com/ZENHxWqnNfLprB1X/www.tecnologiaegadgets.com](https://screenshots.firefox.com/ZENHxWqnNfLprB1X/www.tecnologiaegadgets.com)
   
   If I activate that option should I disable “Enable WordPress 301 redirection 
   to SSL” or can both be enabled at the same time? If both are enbaled, what are
   the advantages of that?

 * Yes, that’s the one. If that’s activated, the request won’t actually reach the
   wp redirect, so that one won’t activate. You can deactivate the wp redirect, 
   although there’s no actual disadvantage in having it active. It’s just not needed
   anymore.

 * So, it is better to activate “Enable 301 .htaccess redirect” and still have “
   Enable WordPress 301 redirection to SSL” activated, since it will not have any
   disadvantage, right?
    The “Enable 301 .htaccess redirect” will edit the .htaccess
   file, right?
