    So I’ve been working on this site for a couple of weeks as a http, recently we bought a SSL and my hosting install it on the https. When I try to redirect it to the https on Settings->General I get a now secure 403 forbidden page. If i go back to the http, my site is right there.

    I have no idea what’s going on, i have deleted the .htaccess, not even using Really Simple SSL helped.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • This should be clarified by the support of your hoster. In WordPress you can only store the URL under which WordPress is accessible. Currently, however, it is not accessible at all.

    hi @soferod

    Looks like you need to restore your .htaccess file. the rewrite rule to redirect your pages to /index.php is missing.

    https://www.apsenoticias.cr/index.php is up and running right now.

    it should look something like this:

    # BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

    The security plugin bitfire can force your site to SSL only if you wish. It also has some other really nice security features for protecting your website. Let me know if I can help you at all with your site.

    Best regards,
    Cory

    Thanks to both of you, it seems to be working now. It was because the SSL wasn′t completly active at the moment.
