WordPress Site URL redirect not working

  • SSL is already installed on my website and I can access it with HTTPS.

My WordPress settings are:
WordPress Address (URL): https://www.mydomain.com
Site Address (URL): https://www.mydomain.com

But when I open https://mydomain.com or https://www.mydomain.com, I am not automatically redirected to the SSL and WWW versions of my website.

I don't want to modify the htacess file or install any plugin.

Why is WordPress's automatic redirect not working? Can someone please help?

    I do not have any SSL problems. Just the redirect problem. I have already updated the site URL in the settings. But HTTP and HTTPS both are working. I want to redirect to HTTPS without using any plugin or modification.

    On my other website just updating the Site URL works and WordPress automatically redirects the http to https.

    But I think a glitch has occurred which is not allowing the WordPress to perform the redirect,

    That tutorial has these following tips. Have you tried this:

    3. Fix Too Many Redirects Errors After Moving to SSL / HTTPS
WordPress allows you to enforce SSL / HTTPS for the admin area by entering the following line into your wp-config.php file.

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
However, in some scenarios this setting alone would cause ‘Too many redirects‘ error. To fix this, you will need to add the following code to your wp-config.php file just before the line that says ‘That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.’.

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
// in some setups HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO might contain 
// a comma-separated list e.g. http,https
// so check for https existence
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
       $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
