WP SSL Redirect

Description

WP SSL Redirect simply forces the SSL on your WordPress website by applying a 301 redirect from the HTTP path to HTTPS path. Please note that this plugin doesn’t install or configure any SSL certificate, instead it simply applies a 301 redirect to force the SSL on a WordPress website where a valid SSL is already properly installed.

FAQ

Does this plugin install or configure SSL?

No.

Does this plugin make any changes to the file system or database?

No changes are made to file system or the database.

If WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME are hardcoded in your WordPress website’s wp-config.php file, then uncomment or delete these two constants, otherwise WP SSL Redirect’s 301 redirect may not work properly.

Does what it says it does!

So I was using Really Simple SSL, which is nice because it has more onsite features, but I NEEDED this plugin to force www to non www and it handles the SSL so, I was able to deactivate the redirection features of Really Simple SSL and just use WP SSL Redirect. This was great, because that meant I didn’t have to edit my .htaccess and risk it being overwritten later by a plugin or by saving the permalinks settings or something unknown to me.

Automatic redirecting issue

gravietie November 25, 2017 1 reply

After I deactivated this plugin I couldn’t use WordPress, I can not sign in again because it is automatically redirecting to another page that is not related to my WordPress site, on the other hand I asked the author to help me to remove codes or database tables but he did not answer my questions.

Perfect to Force non-WWW 301 Redirects

Exactly what I was looking for: a dead-simple way to force 301 redirects to my non-www page without having to edit my .htaccess file myself. Nice work.

Worked for me.
