A very tiny plugin to force SSL on WordPress websites (via 301 redirects for SEO purpose).
== Description ==
WP SSL Redirect simply forces the SSL on your WordPress website by applying a 301 redirect from the HTTP path to HTTPS path. Please note that this plugin doesn't install or configure any SSL certificate, instead it simply applies a 301 redirect to force the SSL on a WordPress website where a valid SSL is already properly installed.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Does this plugin install or configure SSL? =
No.
= Does this plugin make any changes to the file system or database? =
No changes are made to file system or the database.
= How does WP SSL Redirect perform the redirect? =
The plugin makes use of $_SERVER
array to check either the URL is accessed over HTTPS or HTTP. If the request is made over HTTP, then the plugin sends a 301 redirect header and performs the redirect to the HTTPS version of the same URL.
= 301 Redirect is Not Working =
If WP_SITEURL
and WP_HOME
are hardcoded in your WordPress website's wp-config.php
file, then uncomment or delete these two constants, otherwise WP SSL Redirect's 301 redirect may not work properly.
