How to move WordPress form HTTP to HTTPS

Question

I have following code in my .htaccess file of a wp site

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\\.         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that you're not checking if https is being used, so it just constantly tells the browser to go to https://www.yoursite.com/$1.

You can use %{HTTPS} to check whether the request uses https.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
