AHH! ok. Thank you. Now when I try that and comment out the code I had I get redirect loops and even https://example.com doesn’t come up.

I’m sorry, can you elaborate on what you just said?

My Site has been up for a while now with only https so that part is done. However I want to catch those people that dont know the difference between www,http,https,etc and kick them right to my site. That is the code i need!! Should I replace all of what I have in my htaccess with this?

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !On [or]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule [^/]? https://yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

YES!!! That was it! By default I think WooCommerce would create the shop page which did add it to that Settings>Product Settings and I recreated a New Shop Page an just assumed I had to Keep that filled in. I just left that setting blank and now it doesn’t show the additional sorting sections!

Thank you!

Does anyone else NOT have this issue with WooCommerce plugin? I feel like either I am doing something incorrect or this is just by default and I should get used to it?

Thank you! You must have read my mind as I realized I should have posted there instead.

Thank you!

UPDATE FIXED!

I finally after digging around realized the .htaccess file was not being looked at after adding the rewrite rules. I only noticed when I tried to modify my rules and it showed no changes to the site.
What I found is the apache2.conf file did not have the AllowOveride directive set to ‘All’. It was set to ‘None’ which overlooks all .htaccess files. once I set that and restarted Apache then the .htaccess file was being read and the rewrite rules all work now. Hope this helps someone else.

Update:

I tried changing the permalinks to something different to test them out and I can successfully change the Permalink base to :

Plain https://stonesorganics.com/?p=123

This will immediately change all the links and it works just fine. Then I tried moving it to use the page name (%postname%) and it breaks them all. So the process in the permalinks section is working but not for the structure I want.

Another note, I did notice that after changing the permalinsk structure and clicking save I have seen the .htaccess notice on the bottom of the screen that says something like this:

“If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all”.

It only shows sometimes though which makes me think there might be something strange going on. Thoughts?

I am still trying to figure out the Rule sections of the htaccess file but should this line be changed?

“RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC,L]”

That looks like it specifically INCLUDES the index.php or am I wrong?

I renamed the previous htaccess file and created a new one in the root with the other wordpress files/folders but it didn’t help. I even rebooted the Server and restarted apache to no avail.

Maybe I should ahve specified that I am NOT wanting to change my entire URL only the permalinks from say “www.acb.com/index.php/cart/” to this.. “www.acb.com/cart/” which would be a permalink modification and not the Site URL

I tried using the manual upload by dropping it in the wp-content/uploads directory. Works great. Thank you
