Setting up https:// without a redirect

    Hello,

    I want to know if it is possible to completely delete a https:// WordPress website and rebuild in https://. In cPanel I deleted the WordPress install, the MySQL Database and the Public_html. I then selected https:// to rebuild the website; however I still have instances of reverting back to https:// as if old front pages/link still exists. My domain provider suggested I add a 301 redirect to the .htaccess file – which I did and which solved the initial problem. But I still want to know if I can set up the same domain in https:// without the redirect.

    In cPanel there is the following information which may be the source of the problem:

    Is it possible to change the https://66.206.89.45/~auctions to https://?
    How is that done and who needs to do it?

    Thank a lot,

    Stephen

    As per my check, https://auction-savvy.com redirects to https://auction-savvy.com, and links on the site also use HTTPS.

    You can force HTTPS all the time by adding this to the .htaccess file:

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

    I hope this helps!
