Title: WordPress https site Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # WordPress https site * Resolved [Cartographer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cartographer/) * (@cartographer) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-site/) * Hi, * First of all, congratulations for your work! * I would like to point out a problem. * I use https as my default wordpress address (Settings – General). Before using your plugin everyone who visited my website using [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) was redirected to [https://www.example.com](https://www.example.com). * After using the WP Fastest Cache the redirection stopped. Maybe it has something to do with changes in .htaccess. * I would really like your help as I want to use your plugin which is great! * Thanks in advance * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 31 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-site/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-site/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-site/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-https-site/#post-4575206) * actually I didn’t test it with https because not many users use with https.
