Staps to take for implementing https in wordpress

  • I installed a certificate, first installed Really Simple SSL, but decided to uninstall the plugin later.
    I entered https://-adres manually in the WordPress-adres (URL) Siteadres (URL) boxes in the admin aerea, and ran better search and replace to rplace htttp by https..

    Now some sites also advise to put this kind of code in the httacces file to force https

    # BEGIN forcing https
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} website?\.nl [NC]
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.website.nl?/$1 [R,L]
    # END forcing https

    Is that necessary? Will that change something?
    On other posts in this forum I couldn’t find this step, so I wonder will it do something good or not?

  • I checked your site and it seems working properly, so you don’t need to do the .htaccess option.

    for future reference though. You do what you did when you are building a new fresh website.

    And if you are trying to apply SSL and use HTTPS on an existing wordpress then the .htaccess is a better option and will save you more time.
