Title: SSL – Getting http instead of https Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # SSL – Getting http instead of https * [Oded Ben-Ami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oded-ben-ami/) * (@oded-ben-ami) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/) * Hi, * I hope you can help me with this problem. * I have SSL installed. * When I enter URLs in the browser (with the exception of Google Chrome), for example: odedbenami.com/consultation odedbenami.com/disclaimer * It automatically becomes preceded with an http instead of https. If I manually change this to https, it will change without trouble. However, I’m unable to effect the initial addition from http to https. * My WordPress settings > General are as follows: * WordPress Address (URL): [https://odedbenami.com/wordpress](https://odedbenami.com/wordpress) * Site Address (URL): [https://odedbenami.com](https://odedbenami.com) * As you can see, they are both with https. * Can anyone help me? * ~ Oded Ben-Ami Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgs/) * (@jgs) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/#post-3600162) * If you’re looking to force SSL on all pages and have mod_rewrite enabled, you can add this code to your .htaccess file: * ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] ``` * [supah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supah/) * (@supah) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/#post-3600168) * this works for loading pages, but how do i modify the calling of things like web fonts and style sheets? (settings are set for https, rewrite in htaccess is there, but the pages are missing their style, and come up as non-secure at whynopadlock.com) * [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgs/) * (@jgs) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/#post-3600204) * I looked at your page, and the styles appear to be there, everything loads ok, but I see the rewrite isn’t grabbing a URL in your themes stylesheet, so you have a mixed-security page. * Try this instead: * ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] ``` * Thread Starter [Oded Ben-Ami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oded-ben-ami/) * (@oded-ben-ami) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ssl-getting-http-instead-of-https/#post-3600218) * jgs, * Below is my .htaccess.

Here’s what’s happening; if I enter: [http://odedbenami.com](http://odedbenami.com) it changes it to https * but if I enter any of the pages, say [http://odedbenami.com/consultation](http://odedbenami.com/consultation) or without the http: odedbenami.com/consultation * https is not enforced.
