    I haven’t had a chance to re-confirm it but I had a feeling your plugin changes:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    to

    # 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

    everytime it updates. Is that possible or would the reason for that lie somewhere else?

  • Hi,

    Any content between “# BEGIN WordPress” and “# END WordPress” in .htaccess file is maintained by WordPress core, so the changes you are experiencing are caused by WordPress itself, not by the plugin!

    You should add your custom rules outside this block. Given that you want force SSL on your site, then I would recommend to put them above “# BEGIN WordPress” line.

    Ah, that’s good to know. Thank you.

    For anyone interested, my new .htaccess looks like this:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

# 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

    Thanks for your super quick response!
