Does your .htaccess have these?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https: //%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

</IfModule>

Thanks for the reply. Yes.
The redirection to https seems to work now, but the “really simple SSL” plugin keeps giving me the warning, maybe I can just ignore it.

I needed to set the HTTP_HOST manually to my domain marahil.org
Any idea why could that be?

24

It has to be else it would not work…

I see. I thought that the variable %{HTTP_HOST}% will return the url of my website.

It should…

I recommend not tampering with the .htaccess and just use really simple SSL, it will do it all for you.

Thanks for replying.
On the “really simple SSL” plugin website there is an article that talks about the matter. They said that if the default .htaccess settings are not working then you should either use WordPress 301 redirect or edit the .htaccess file manually.
So I did the latter and it seems to work, however, I needed to insert the domain name manually.
