Need to force SSL on your website? We have you covered! You just need to modify the .htaccess via the code editor built into the cPanel file manager system.
All you have to do to force SSL on your website is to add these lines to the beginning of the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Forcing Specific Pages
You can target specific pages only. Simply edit the .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /[SSL Requested page]/
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Click the Save Changes button towards the top right corner of your screen. Check your website to ensure it is functioning as expected.
If that doesn't work, you can try using this instead. Just be sure to replace example.com with your domain name:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
Note, there are plenty of ways to do this with WordPress via the plugins repository. Simply search for SSL: WordPress.org SSL Search We don't want to recommend one over the other, but we like Really Simple SSL. Also, it should go without saying but you will need to have an SSL certificate to get this working properly on your website. Need one of those?
