 * I installed a certificate, first installed Really Simple SSL, but decided to 
   uninstall the plugin later.
    I entered [https://-adres](https://-adres) manually
   in the WordPress-adres (URL) Siteadres (URL) boxes in the admin aerea, and ran
   better search and replace to rplace htttp by https..
 * Now some sites also advise to put this kind of code in the httacces file to force
   https
 * # BEGIN forcing https
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} website?\.nl [NC] RewriteCond%{
   SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [https://www.website.nl?/$1](https://www.website.nl?/$1)[
   R,L] # END forcing https
 * Is that necessary? Will that change something?
    On other posts in this forum 
   I couldn’t find this step, so I wonder will it do something good or not?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstaps-to-take-for-implementing-https-in-wordpress%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I checked your site and it seems working properly, so you don’t need to do the.
   htaccess option.
 * for future reference though. You do what you did when you are building a new 
   fresh website.
 * And if you are trying to apply SSL and use HTTPS on an existing wordpress then
   the .htaccess is a better option and will save you more time.
