WordPress Easy HTTPS Redirection Plugin

Home » WordPress Easy HTTPS Redirection Plugin

This plugin can be used to make your site SSL compatible easily. It can automatically redirect the visitors to the HTTPS version of the site. This will ensure that the search engines are indexing the HTTPS version of your website and your visitors are going to the HTTPS pages.

You can also use it to easily make the site SSL compatible by force-loading static resources using HTTPS URLs.

Minimum Requirement

You need to have an SSL certificate installed on your site (your hosting provider can install SSL certificate for you).

Plugin Installation

  1. Go to the Add New plugins screen in your WordPress admin area
  2. Click the upload tab
  3. Browse for the plugin file (https-redirection.zip)
  4. Click Install Now and then activate the plugin

Plugin Usage

After you install and activate the plugin, go to the settings menu of this plugin to enable the options.

Click on the “Easy HTTPS & SSL” menu link from the WordPress’s main “Settings” menu.

You can enable the following two options from the settings menu:

  1. Enable automatic redirection to the HTTPS
  2. Force resources to use HTTPS URL

1) Enable Automatic Redirection to the HTTPS Page

Lets say for example, you want to use “https” URL for the following page on your site:

www.your-domain.com/my-test-page

Enabling this option will enforce it so if anyone uses an URL like the following in the browser’s address bar:

http://www.your-domain.com/my-test-page

It will automatically redirect to the following HTTPS version of the page:

https://your-domain.com/my-test-page

So you are always forcing the visitors to view the HTTPS version of your web pages.

2) Force Resources to Use HTTPS URLs

If you have an existing website where you have a lot of static files that are embedded in your posts and pages using “non-https” URLs then you will need to change those. Otherwise, the browser will show an SSL warning to your visitors (because some of the static resources are embedded using “non-https” URL.

Enabling this option will force-load those static files using HTTPS URL dynamically. This will make the web-page fully SSL compatible.

SSL Certificate Expiry Notification

This plugin includes a feature that allows you to receive email notifications when your SSL certificate is about to expire. It helps ensure your website remains secure and accessible over HTTPS.

You can configure the recipient email address and specify how many days in advance the notification should be sent. By default, the notification is sent 7 days before expiry, but you can adjust this to suit your preference.

Troubleshooting

If after making changes your site stops functioning, do the following:

Step #1: Open .htaccess file in the root directory of the WordPress install and delete everything between the following two lines

# BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin
# END HTTPS Redirection Plugin

Step #2: Save the htaccess file (this will erase any change this plugin made to that file).

Step #3: Deactivate the plugin or rename this plugin’s folder (which will deactivate the plugin).

Troubleshooting – Force Deactivate Plugin

You can use this technique to force deactivate a WordPress plugin.

Plugin Compatibility

Works with the latest version of WordPress.
