What the author says it does

Only use this plugin if you have installed SSL certificate on your site and HTTPS is working correctly

Once you’ve installed an SSL certificate on your site, it’s important to ensure that your webpages are accessed via their secure HTTPS URLs.

To improve SEO and user security, you want search engines and visitors to always use the HTTPS version of your pages. This plugin makes that easy by automatically redirecting users to the HTTPS version whenever they try to access the non-HTTPS (HTTP) version of a page.

Example

Let’s say you want to ensure the following page is always accessed over HTTPS:

https://www.example.com/checkout

If a visitor tries to access:

http://www.example.com/checkout

The plugin will automatically redirect them to the secure version:

https://www.example.com/checkout

This ensures that visitors always access the HTTPS version of your pages or site.

You can choose to automatically redirect your entire domain to HTTPS, or selectively apply HTTPS redirection to specific pages.

Force Load Static Files Using HTTPS

If you started using SSL from day 1 of your site then all your static files are already embedded using HTTPS URL. You have no issue there.

The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.

Questions the author answers

How will the plugin work with the existing .htaccess file?

If the file exists, the plugin will update existing .htaccess file.

What should I do if the .htaccess file does not exist?

The plugin will store the settings in the database and add all the necessary conditions to the settings of WordPress automatically.

What should I do if after making changes in the .htaccess file with the help of the plugin my site stops working?

The.htaccess is located in the site root. With your FTP program or via cPanel go to the site root, open the .htaccess file and delete the necessary strings manually.

Please make use of the following information: https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients

How to use the other language files with the HTTPS Redirection?

Here is an example for German language files.

• In order to use another language for WordPress it is necessary to set the WP version to the required language and in configuration wp file – wp-config.php in the line define('WPLANG', ''); write define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');. If everything is done properly the admin panel will be in German.

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
