Redirecting to the wrong page

Hi @ztsoyoye,

which redirect option have you enabled in the plugin? If it’s the .htaccess redirect, could you post the contents of your .htaccess file here so we can check for potential issues?

I have the following ON:
Mixed content fixer
Enable WordPress 301 redirect
Enable 301 .htaccess redirect

How do I access the contents of my .htaccess file?

I believe i found the .htaccess file and it contained:

# BEGIN rlrssslReallySimpleSSL rsssl_version[4.0.8]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
# END rlrssslReallySimpleSSL
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Hi @ztsoyoye,

it could be the .htaccess redirect is not working correctly on your site. What you could try is to enable the ‘stop editing the .htaccess file’ option on the Settings->SSL page and then manually replace the following line in your .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

with

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Let me know if that resolved the issue.

I’ve implemented this solution and I believe it is working atm. Thank you

Hi Mark,
Please allow me to ask here, because I have the same problem.

2 of my subdirectories;
? https://vectorise.net/logo
? https://vectorise.net/services
does not redirect to the correct ‘https’ URL, but it goes to the main page (https://vectorise.net) instead.

…

my Really Simple SSL plugin settings are;
Mixed content fixer – ON
Enable WordPress 301 redirect – ON
Stop editing the .htaccess file – ON
Fire mixed content fixer with different method – ON

…

and below are part of my .htaccess (tell me if you need to see all)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
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]
</IfModule>

Hi @vectorism,

could you also post the part of your .htaccess file which contains the Really Simple SSL .htaccess redirect? Did you try to replace

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

with

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I don’t understand, why I cannot find any ‘SSL’ in the .htaccess file.
This is the whole file of the .htaccess

It looks like the Really Simple SSL htaccess redirect hasn’t been enabled. Could you uncheck the ‘Stop editing the .htaccess file’ option and activate the htaccess redirect option to check if that resolves the issue?

ok, I just change it, as image shown here, https://pasteboard.co/JRZQ4uD.png right..

but no luck.

doing your suggestion..

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

with

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

still the same, no luck.

I don’t see anything in your .htaccess file that would cause this. Could you try if the issue occurs after temporarily switching to a default theme? And could you check if the wp-config.php file on the sites contains one of these rules:

define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://example.com&#8217; );
define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://example.com&#8217; );

Hello,
I have the exact same problem that ztsoyoye (@ztsoyoye) described.
After enabling “Stop editing the .htaccess file” the issue appears to be resolved.
Can I leave it like that or do I need to edit the .htaccess file?

You can leave it like that without any issues.

Thank you @rogierlankhorst.
