 * Hello [@cathymanchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cathymanchi/)
 * You can achieve this using one of the following solution
 * 1. Go to Settings >> General and make sure that the WordPress Address (URL) and
   Site Address (URL) is https. If not, add S after http to make https and save 
   it.
    This is ensure that your all content of a webpage is served from HTTPS URL
   when you will use HTTPS url. The HTTP URL, will however work normally in parallel
   as both ports are different.
 * 2. You can change your .htaccess accordingly
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
 * **RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^ [https://%](https://%){HTTP_HOST}%{
   REQUEST_URI} [L,R=302]
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule
   >
 * if it works for you then you can change 302 to 301 redirect which is permanant
   redirection.
 * 3. Here is an alternative solution you can use if you don’t want to edit .htaccess
 *     ```
       add_action( 'template_redirect', 'nonhttps_template_redirect', 1 );
   
       function nonhttps_template_redirect() {
   
          if ( is_ssl() ) {
   
              if ( 0 === strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'https' ) ) {
   
                  wp_redirect( preg_replace( '|^http://|', 'https://', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), 301 );
   
                  exit();
   
              } else {
   
                  wp_redirect( 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 301 );
   
                  exit();
   
              }
   
          }
   
       }
       ```
   
 * You can place this at the bottom of your theme functions.php
 * Hope it will help
 * Thanks
