HTTPS/SSL redirects don't work — leads to 404 not found page

I’m having the same issue. Any feedback from the author would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am having the same issue, please help!

Same problem here, would really appreciate any insight on how to fix.

I deactivated the plugin and just started editing my .htaccess file. It’s easier and faster.

how do you edit your .htaccess file? (I’m new at this)

Create a section in the .htaccess file for redirects:

# Redirects

Then specify what kind of redirect you want followed by the address to be redirected from your domain and the URL of the page to which you want to redirect. Like this:

Redirect 301 /address-to-redirect-from-your-domain https://the-URL-of-page-to-redirect.com

This is stupid. All plugins should support https.

would appreciate if the author can fix it asap

The plugin does handle HTTPS if all your settings match appropriately. It’s working on several of my sites.

Check that your home_url setting is also set to https. It’s a strict string match and if you haven’t updated that setting then it’s trying to match https:// to https:// which won’t pair.

Is there any new info on this, because I did update so they are all https:// and the redirect still goes to a 404 page.

Can you post both columns of the row that you’re trying to re-direct & your home_url setting?

This gets tricky quickly if you’re proxying for frontend caching, but I changed line 214 of the plugin on the reasoning that get_home_url() checks the current protocol while get_option(‘home’) might not.

From:

$userrequest = str_ireplace(get_option(‘home’),”,$this->get_address());

to:

$userrequest = str_ireplace(get_home_url(),”,$this->get_address());

Set this in your wp-config.php file:

$_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] = ‘on’;

it worked for me.

EDIT: Sorry, it was another redirect plugin I used, but maybe it will work for you too.

caalami’s patch worked for me, this minor change should really be pulled into the plugin for future updates.

Thanks caalami!!!!!

Caalami’s fix does work to some extent, however wildcards still won’t work. I’m using straight up SSL with no proxy.
