How to redirect www to http thro htaccess

  • I am trying to redirect all traffic from ‘www.mysite.com’ to https://mysite.com by editing the .htaccess file.

    However, I am not sure which lines to edit/delete and which ones to add. I tried solutions found on different blogs but none of them did the trick.
    This is my current (and I imagine the standard) /htaccess file: 

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

    That’s odd. I would think that the canonical URL feature of WordPress would take care of that.

    Try this: above those lines in the .htaccess file try add these lines:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www\.mysite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

    That will make the requests for https://www.mysite.com get 301 redirected to the non-www version.
