To redirect to HTTPS in WordPress, you can follow these steps:
- Update your WordPress site URL: Go to Settings > General in your WordPress dashboard and make sure both the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) begin with https:// instead of http://.
- Update your .htaccess file: You can add the following code to your .htaccess file to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS:
1
2
3
4
|
# Redirect to HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
|
You can access your .htaccess file through your hosting provider's control panel or using an FTP client.
- Use a plugin: If you're not comfortable editing your .htaccess file, you can use a plugin like Really Simple SSL or WP Force SSL to easily set up and manage HTTPS redirection on your WordPress site.
By following these steps, your WordPress site will be redirected to HTTPS, ensuring that all traffic to your site is secure and encrypted.
