Homepage URL doesn’t display https:// (or https://)

    Ever since I set up my website, it hasn’t displayed https://www. in the URL. This never really bothered me until I recently installed an SSL cert. After the SSL cert was instaled, I installed a plugin to force all pages to use https, which is working fine. The problem I’m having is that my home page isn’t using https. I can’t force it to sue https with the plugin, as it only works with posts/pages, and my homepage isn’t a post in wordpress, but is a static page generated by the theme (Pinboard theme by One Designs).

    Is there a way to have the URL’s use https for the whole site, instead of using a plugin as a workaround, or at least force the homepage to https? The main reason I’m using https is for SEO ranking.

    Many thanks,
    John

  • Hello,
    To force change the url from http to https, please backup your .htaccess file from wordpress root. and create the new .htaccess file at the root and paste the below code in .htaccess file.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
