ErrorDocument doesn’t work

Hello. My .htaccess config is using redirecting rules (HTTP -> HTTPS). I think error logging (403.php) doesn’t work because of this redirecting rules.

I have shortened the .htaccess file for the example:
```
ErrorDocument 403 /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/403.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# For example disable .log files
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.log)
  RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
</IfModule>

# Redirecting rules HTTP to HTTPS
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}  [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
```
1) https://example.com/test.log -> Works fine.
2) http://example.com/test.log -> Doesn’t work.

Please have a look at my screenshot:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\.log)
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
```
The way you are using this code above it will always generate a 403 error since the F flag = forbidden. The ErrorDocument directive is basically a “built-in” redirect. So you would just add a path to a logging file. ie the BPS 403.php error logging file. So basically it looks like you are doing something redundant that does not need to be done with your code above.

I think I misunderstood what you were asking. I think you simply are trying to get an HTTP redirect to go to HTTPS? Try the Rewrite htaccess code below first. You may need to create a DNS CNAME record to get HTTP URL’s to redirect to HTTPS URL’s. Example: CNAME www.forum forum.ait-pro.com, but that would depend on how your SSL Certificate TLD is setup. Anyway these are all the things you need to consider to figure out the problem.

Try this code below > https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7233
```
# WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
```

Since this is not a BPS plugin question and it’s been a while since you responded then I’m going to resolve this thread.

Also wanted to mention that if you do want to use the BPS plugin as an htaccess file manager and editor you would use the BPS Custom Code feature to create customized htaccess files.
