WordPress SSL htaccess code – Rewrite SSL, RewriteCond Server Port

[Paulin Halenria]

[Topic has been merged into this relevant Topic]
I made search on the website and didn’t find the correct code. I’d like to merge those codes but no idea how to perform correctly.

# Rewrite www to non-www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

Indeed, I want my website been only reachable by
https://example.com
So I need to redirect all requests from
http://example.com
http://www.example.com
https://www.example.com

And the second part, no idea if it could work… I’m using Polylang to have my website bilingual using two different domains.So, I need for the same website, have the requests from

http://example2.com
http://www.example2.com
https://www.example2.com
to https://example2.com

But as already said, no idea if such a setup will be possible or not…. My first idea would be

# Rewrite everything like a pro
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example2\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

Thanks

@ Paulin – The code you are looking for is here:  http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7233

Hi,

I’m completely new here; I hope this is te right place for posting my questing. First: thanks for this great Pro-version I bought last Friday.

My question: see the topic title. Those redirects I made with

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

in the .httaccess file. I experienced a lot with it in BP Pro, but noting was successful. And I do have problems with understanding English. Would you be so kind to explain it to me step by step, please?

Thanks in advance,

Ruud

@ Rudd Van Deer – See this reply in this same forum topic for instructions on how to do that.

Load Balancers and SSL Redirect

If Apache is behind a Load Balancer , Pound, HaProxy, Nginx.

Then your  requests coming from the load balancer arrive over HTTP to Apache, so the HTTPS variable is set to OFF. Therefore, .htacess is reading HTTPS OFF from the server.

However, Apache Server does have a SSL variable called HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO that can be used.

#WP REWRITE LOOP START for Load Balancers
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

or

#WP REWRITE LOOP START- For Load Balancers
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Directions:

WordPress General Settings:
WordPress Address (URL)    https://www.your-domain-name.com
Site Address (URL)                https://www.your-domain-name.com

1. Copy this .htaccess code below to this BPS Root Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE WP REWRITE LOOP START: Add www to non-www/non-www to www code here
2. Click the Save Root Custom Code button.
3. Go to the BPS Security Modes page and click the Root Folder BulletProof Mode Activate button.

I am currently using the following to send index.htm to the root .co.uk

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [R,L]

I am going to move to ssl and was wondering what i needed to add to this and also what i would need to redirect all pages from http to https?

In above would i just add an s to any http like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPs_HOST} ^mysite\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [R,L]

Would this do the http to https bit on a like for like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/%$1 [R,L]

@ Paul – See this reply in this same forum topic for examples of SSL/HTTPS htaccess code and how/where to add it to BPS Custom Code (or just generally in an htaccess file that is not a BPS htaccess file):  http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7233  Since you are rewriting a index.htm file instead of an index.php then be sure to change index.php to index.htm in your htaccess code that you use/create.

[Paul]

Thanks so am i right in thinking this would do both?

# WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ - [L]

Changed the .php to .htm

[AITpro Admin]

I should have asked these questions first:  Are you just trying to redirect the index.htm file to the home page of this site?  Is the index.htm file under a WordPress installation folder/website?  Is this website a separate HTML website?

[Paul]

OK.
one of my WordPress sites was better suited to not being a wordpress site so i made it a “normal” htm website.
Initially it was not redirecting the index.htm to .co.uk inmstead i could access .co.uk/index.htm too but this solved that

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [R,L]

I now would like to make the whole site SSL over https so wanted to redirect everything from http to https and still have code above doing its job on SSL server.

Hope that makes some sense?

[AITpro Admin]

Ok then the code you posted in your previous reply should work fine or you may need to alter it slightly by changing the RewriteRule to:  RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [R,L]. Try the code you posted in your previous reply and that does not work then try changing the RewriteRule.

[Paul]

Ok thanks, i,ll give both a try

# WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [R,L]

and

# WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ - [L]

My host gave for the redirect but i,ll try that last 😉

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

My site is no longer directing all traffic to use the https://www.domain.com version of my website. I’ve followed the instructions here testing both code snippets and neither of them are working now (new update to BPS Pro?).

[AITpro Admin]

@ dtyler1 – While I was logged into your site and looking at the API server error issue/problem, I noticed that you were not using any HTTPS/SSL htaccess code so I added it in BPS Custom Code.  If that HTTPS/SSL htaccess code is causing a problem on your site then remove it, but after adding the HTTPS/SSL htaccess code I checked your site and everything was working fine.  Also remove any/all HTTPS/SSL htaccess code that you have added to BPS Custom Code.

[dtyler1]

I appreciate the code added, but for some unknown reason traffic from http:// is not being redirected to https://
