After RewriteEngine On you would need something like.

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Then your will need something to redirect www to non-www or vice versa. But that will depend it if you a using www. or not. Search these forums, there are lots of examples.

The above post is how you redirect http to https. Do all your URLs in config.php and admin/config.php start with https?

Yes, all my config.php start with https:// . If you are saying the post from the other person is the way to direct to https, but he is mentioning that after adding the Code, I need something else to redirect, and he is not mentioning how, Do you or anyone know what else I need?

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

You don't need anything else to redirect http to https.

But you will need to redirect to your correct domain with or without www. But you don't give much information so it's hard to say exactly what you need.

An example if your domain was www.example.com.

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [E=HTTPS,R=301,L]

Ok, in regards to your comment above, I have put a Print Screen of the .htaccess file with the CODE that you have given me in line 42 and 43 of the Print Screen that I have attached. Can you tell me if this is correct and if there is anything else I need to do?

You should have both bits of code. And of course change www.example.com to your domain.

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [E=HTTPS,R=301,L]

Awesome, that seems to worked, thank you, Just one last question, I have put the Code that you have given me right below #41 RewriteEngine On as the Example that I have attached below, and Can you tell me if that is the right spot where I have put Code or does it need to be somewhere else?

As ADD Creative mentioned code worked for you it doesn't matter in .htaccess where you put it.
