Website still redirects to HTTP instead of HTTPS

1. Install the plugin “better search and replace”
2. If you have any caching plugins, clear the cache first then deacivate
3. Run Better Search and Replace. Search for https://www.stijnspreekt.nl and replace with https://www.stijnspreekt.nl Note — no trailing slashes
4. This will probably log you out. If not, log out.
5. Delete all cookies in your browser related to your site.
6. Login. Re-enble your caching plugins, if any.
7. Deactivate and delete “better search and replace”.

Ok Steve. I run Autoptimize plugin and there is an empty cache function on it. Do i need to deactivate Autoptimize also?

Yes. Empty its cache and deactivate it.

Ok. What do i need to fill in in al these fields? I see Search, Replace with. And where do i need to put https://www.stijnspreekt.nl?

Sorry, my bad! I did read way to fast

Steve, it wont run when i press Run ‘Search/Replace’

I think i need to select some tables? All of them?

All tables. Dry run first. Then uncheck dry run. Make a database backup first, of course.

Ok i did run and say: D

RY RUN: 44 tables were searched, 839 cells were found that need to be updated, and 0 changes were made.

What now Steve?

Really? Did you actually read what I wrote? Run it with dry run UNCHECKED.

You said ‘Dry run first, then uncheck’. And to run it dry is checked! Ok let me do it again

Done. I did everything you said.

Looks like nothing changed? https://www.stijnspreekt.nl. still no HTTPS from WWW?

Are the two URL fields in Settings set to https? That should auto-redirect. If not, force a redirect at the top of .htaccess (before the # Begin WordPress mark)

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.stijnspreekt.nl/$1 [R,L]

Yes those are both HTTPS already, that was the first thing i did.

Ok. I just opended htacces and i see this there. I think my hosting did this earlier. Should i replace this with your code?
