To redirect `http` to `https`, add the following to the top of the `.htaccess` file:

```auto
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://wp.overloadedtech.com/$1 [R,L]

```

Note: I already added your domain, so just copy as it is! 😀

Um, you will still have the same error if you set it up the same way. Avoiding problems is no way to make them go away.

Do not use Automatic HTTPS Rewrites. It tends to cause a lot of weird issues and breakages.

Instead, you should follow this guide to setup Flexible SSL with WordPress:

> WordPress is a great and very popular website building tool, and Cloudflare is a great way to get HTTPS on your website for free. Thanks to Cloudflare’s Flexible SSL system, you don’t even need to manage SSL certificates to use it! However, getting WordPress to show a padlock and make all pages work can be a bit tricky. This article explains a good way to configure your website correctly with Cloudflare Flexible SSL. Heads up! Instead of making WordPress work with Flexible SSL, you can also c…

Or you can set Cloudflare to “Full” SSL, get a Self Signed certificate from us and install that to your website.
