Removing the Plugin and Left Over .htaccess File

    I used this plugin quite some time ago, because I switched to SSL certificate and then removed the plugin.

    I notice in the .htacess file still has this code and is at the beginning of the entire file and it reads like this:

    # BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
    </IfModule>
    # END HTTPS Redirection Plugin

    Question 1 So can I remove this bit of code in .htaccess?
    Why wasn’t this code removed when I removed the plugin and all its files?
    Thanks for your help.

    I don’t think that is created by Redirection. None of the lines inside the section are part of Redirection, and the start and end comments don’t match what Redirection uses (# Created by Redirection)

    Comment out the code (add a # to the start of each line) and see what happens. If everything works fine then you can delete it.

    That looks like code from the Easy HTTPS Redirection Plugin.

    Hi John: thanks for your reply, do I use # then a space to each line to test this bit of code? For example:

    #<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # RewriteEngine On
    # RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
    # </IfModule>

    Question: does this bypass the code? I haven’t messed with .htaccess before. Thanks for your help, sorry if it is not your plugin. The site has an SSL certificate on it, for over a year now and slow to open.

    Yes a # at the start of the line. Doesn’t matter about a space after. Give it a try, you can always re-edit if you don’t get it right.
