I am trying to find out how to redirect everything (http/ with and without and http: without) to https://www. (with www.)
I know it needs to be written in the .htacess file and I have forces admin to use https in wp-config already. I'm after the exact script to add at the top of my .htacess file please.
I am running on Cpanel. I'm using wordpress and maxcdn with w3cache. maxcdn is already set up for https.
I have found posts on how to write the code but lack the knowledge to create it myself.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.
Like Shiv said, .htaccess is definitely the way to go. Here's the complete solution which will redirect to SSL and add www if not present:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I think this might do the trick:
# 301 Redirect 1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^$ https://www.domain.com/? [R=301,NE,NC,L]
# 301 Redirect 2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^$ https://www.domain.com/? [R=301,NE,NC,L]
Obviously change domain.com to your domain name.

I have a specific .htaccess defined as is, in order to reroute all traffic from root folder to identical URL in a subfolder with exceptions on sub-domains.
Here's my file:
#RewriteEngine on
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.fr/blog/$1 [R=301,QSA]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^joe\.mydomain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^lab\.mydomain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^joe(.*)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^lab(.*)
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://www.mydomain.fr/blog/
</IfModule>
This file does exactly what I want: when I input something like www.mydomain.fr/wp-admin for example, it will redirect to www.mydomain.fr/blog/wp-admin, but will exclude subdomains joe.mydomain.fr and lab.mydomain.fr from redirection.
However, what happens is that if I go to joe.mydomain.fr?test=1, the server will simply redirect me to joe.mydomain.fr but the GET parameter disappears.
How can I avoid that?
I tried replacing [NC] with [QSA] or [R=301,QSA], but I get an Internal Server Error.
Thanks.
After spending my day documenting about how .htaccess files actually work, I was finally able to solve my problem with the following file, inspired by the one from Abhishek Gurjar:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /s
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^joe\.mydomain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^lab\.mydomain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blog\.mydomain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/joe
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/lab
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.fr/blog/$1 [R=301]
</IfModule>
FYI, the 3 first lines are mandatory with my provider 1&1 apparently...
What I changed is the REQUEST_URI from being !^joe(.* ) and !^lab(.*) to !/joe and !/lab and then excluding the blog.mydomain.fr URL as well to avoid problems with blog.mydomain.fr/joe or blog.mydomain.fr/lab if ever one day I use them.
Finally, I had to redirect my sub-domains in my 1&1 client interface to the subfolders of my webspace instead of the URL in hard, meaning:
Instead of redirecting joe.mydomain.fr to http://www.mydomain.fr/joe, I redirect it to /www/joe/
That configuration now allows me to type in an URL such as joe.mydomain.fr?dnt=1 while getting redirected to http://www.mydomain.fr/joe?dnt=1 which is exactly what I wanted to do.
I hope this helps others.
Thanks for the help.
I'm having some issues with some .htaccess redirects only working in certain situations.
The code I have is
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
And here are the results of my tests
https://www.example.com redirects to http://example.com
https://example.com does nothing
https://www.example.com/page-name redirects to http://example.com/page-name
https://example.com/page-name does nothing
This is a WordPress site and the .htaccess code sits above the WordPress code. I have also tried it below too and I get the same results
It looks like the site didnt have an SSL attatched to it so the
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
rule was not working correctly.
Because of this I went down this method to fix the redirects and make it work in all of the test cases that I mentioned in the question.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Use this in your .htaccess instead:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
I'm assuming that you want www forced to not show, since you did not include it in the URL. If that is the case, include this extra condition to force it to not show:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
I am wanting to redirect all my pages to https. Currently it is doing this but some websites when doing test state that I have to many redirects. This is basically what I have set up within my .htaccess file (for Wordpress)"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
NOTE: I also have another redirect within this file for another reason, as I have changed my URLs and wanting them all to redirect using a 301:
RewriteBase /
RedirectMatch 301 /market/(.*)/ /product/$1
I'm basically wondering if I have done it all correctly or is there a simpler way so there is not so much redirects. I also notice within my Plesk panel there is an option for this. Any help would be great.
I suggest using thos code in your htaccess file to force HTTPS redirection (make sure to adjust URLs to your actual ones):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.local$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^staging\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127.0.0.1$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =""
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I am trying to redirect my domain
http://atc-logistics.ie
and
http://www.atc-logistics.ie
to
https://www.atc-logistics.ie
My hosting company gave me this code for the .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^atc-logistics.ie [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.atc-logistics.ie/$1 [L,R=301]
and are insisting that there this is correct and something else is causing a redirect so it keeps rebounding back to http://atc-logistics.ie. I can't see any other redirects and there are no redirect plugins (Wordpress).
Can anyone let me know if the redirect above is correct? I am really struggling and the hosting company don't seem to be able to help!
The htaccess redirect system I use is this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
And that works fine for me.
It checks if the host does not begin www. and then diverts to the www. address before then checking if the protocol is Secure and then if it is not forces redirect to the HTTPS, using the previously set HOST and URI address values.
After setting up Wordpress to use permalinks (which added some lines to my htaccess file), I got confused how to redirect a subdomain to a subfolder (astro.aspiracoesquimicas.net should redirect to aspiracoesquimicas.net/astro): what I had tried (and worked) before doesn't work anymore:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^astro\.aspiracoesquimicas\.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/astro/
RewriteRule (.*) /astro/$1
Now I get a 500 Internal Server Error with the subdomain. I don't know about htaccess configuring and don't understand what changed because of Wordpress.
I'd also like to redirect blog.aspiracoesquimicas.net to the main domain aspiracoesquimicas.net
How can I do it?
Make sure you add the L flag to the rule and make sure you place the rules BEFORE the wordpress rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^astro\.aspiracoesquimicas\.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/astro/
RewriteRule (.*) /astro/$1 [L]
RewriteEngine On .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^astro\.aspiracoesquimicas\.net/
ReWriteRule ^(.*)$ https://aspiracoesquimicas.net/astro/$1 [R=301,L]
use this method
