Introduction

If you have subscribed to an SSL certificate and notice that your website does not show HTTPS when users browse, don’t worry. The HTTPS is active; you just need to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS. Follow the steps below to ensure users are securely directed to the SSL version of your website.

Note: Ensure that Apache is configured for HTTPS connections and that the necessary SSL certificates are installed before proceeding.

Steps to Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

  1. Navigate to the following directory:
    public_html/.htaccess
  2. Edit the file and add the following script to enable the redirection from HTTP to HTTPS: 
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Once these changes are made, users who type “http” will automatically be redirected to the secure HTTPS version of your website.
