## Description

A simple WordPress plugin that redirects your site to HTTPS

### Simple SSL

With Simple SSL you can enable HTTPS redirect for your website that is running on
a Apache-based webserver.
 It is required to have a valid SSL certificate for your
site that we do not provide.

### What does the plugin do?

It configures your .htaccess file which is a configuration file used by Apache.

We add the following setting that configures your website to redirect all traffic
to HTTPS.

    ```
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
    ```

We also automatically update your general settings to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.

You can easily enable and disable all this from the admin page.

## Screenshots

 * Admin Dashboard

## Installation

 * Download the plugin and activate it on your plugins page.
 * A new menu will appear in your dashboard named \”Simple SSL\”.
 * Go to the \”Simple SSL\” menu and enable the plugin.
 * Simple as that!

## FAQ

### I cant access my website after i have enabled the plugin?

This is because you don\’t have a valid SSL certificate required for your website.

The site now redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, and it can\’t do that when no 
certificate is provided.

### How do i manually revert the plugin changes?

 * First, make sure you can access your site with either FTP or source control.
   .
   htaccess
 * Go to your project directory and open your .htaccess file.
 * Remove all lines between \’# BEGIN HTTPS DIRECT\’ and \’# END HTTPS DIRECT\’.
   
   General Settings
 * Go to your wp-config.php, also in your project directory.
 * Add the following lines to the file (With your domain name).
    define( \’WP_HOME\’,\’
   http://{YOUR DOMAIN NAME}\’ ); define( \’WP_SITEURL\’, \’http://{YOUR DOMAIN 
   NAME}\’ );
