Simple SSL Redirects
If your site has an SSL certificate you might find that you can access the site via both SSL (https) and non-SSL (http) URLs. This is a bad idea for security, and for SEO, as it can look like duplicate content on different URLs. The answer to this is to redirect requests to non-SSL (http) URLs over to their SSL (https) equivalents using something called a 301 redirect. This tells the client (and search engines) that the resource they are looking for should always be accessed over SSL. This plugin offers two methods to achieve this: By intercepting WordPress pages at header time, and if they are not already being requested over HTTPS sending a 301 redirect header, or By adding mod_rewrite rules in the .htaccess file to redirect all requests to their HTTPS equivalents using 301 redirects. Optionally, this plugin can also set HSTS headers for you, and make sure that all requests use the same hostname (i.e. fixing the issue where many sites can be accessed using both www. and non-www. URLs).
WP SSL Redirect
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. 1.3 Added options to force www or non-www 1.3.1 A minor bug fix regarding query vars 1.3.2 Fixed a major bug related to sub-directory installations 1.4 Rewrote the redirection code to make it even simpler Disabled the website URL update in the database 1.5 Bug fixes 1.6 Compatibility test with WordPress 6.1
