I've followed the advice from this thread which redirects all requests for my case site, riverstreetflowerland.com to the https version.
You can click through to other pages on the site and view the site on https. However, if you get a direct link to a page other than the home page (like http://riverstreetflowerland.com/about-us/) then .htaccess will not redirect you to the https version and you will browse the site in http until you visit the home page.
Here's my current .htaccess as a reference:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I just need the site to be redirected to and browsed via https 100% of the time (it's funny how much a green padlock makes people feel secure).
This should work if you swap your rules this way
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I have a progressive web application, built using Vue CLI 3, that is currently using the HTML 5 history mode. I have followed the documentation to add the necessary configuration to the .htaccess, however this example does not cover redirecting to HTTPS. This is what I have:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
I have followed other Stack Overflow responses on how to redirect all requests to HTTPS via .htaccess, but this results in an endless redirect loop. So what I need is to redirect non HTTPS requests to HTTPS while still honoring the index.html redirect.
After additional research, I was able to fix my problem by prepending the .htaccess file with some HTTPS specific configuration. So now my file looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !=https
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,N]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
</IfModule>
I've wrote the lines below in the .htaccess of my wordpress website, however, Firefox redirects neither http://mywebsite.com nor http://www.mywebsite.com to https://www.mywebsite.com. All the other browsers redirects properly.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Does anyone know what's the issue?
Maybe your problem will be solved if you disable the cache.
I am moving my WordPress website to https.
I am using the code below which works fine:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
My only worry is SEO, how do I tell google my website has moved from http to https ?
I have seen people using [R=301,L] others [L,R=301] , which one is best ?
How should I edit my code ?
I'm having a problem with my URL and my sessions.
I wish to have ALL website pages be forced to use www. As it looks like now, the website looks like this:
www.example.com into www.example.com
example.com into www.example.com
www.example.com/example/ into www.example.com/example/
example.com/example into example.com/example (this is what's wrong)
This is what my .htaccess file looks like:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wewent\.net
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wewent.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Because the URL does not redirect properly I get double up with sessions one for www and one for the website without. How can I prevent this the best way?
It seems to look ok but one thing you should do is always put your other rules before the wordpress rules as a habit. When using wordpress it should generally be the last set of rules since it does all the routing. Now for the redirect, you should probably use 302temporary which will remove any current cache and verify that your redirects are working properly. Then you can change it to 301 for permanent once it's working correctly.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.wewent\.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wewent.net/$1 [L,R=302,NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I tried googling this problem about a site do not open without www in chrome, But it works on other browser, here's my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
You have mistake in your .htaccess file. You activate rewrite engine twice. Your .htaccess file has to be like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Update:
You can't open your site in chrome without www. because your .htaccess file contains redirection rule, what redirects your visitors from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com. This rule is used for SEO, read through Redirection SEO Best Practices article (especially Redirecting Canonical Hostnames paragraph) to become more familiar with it.
