 * Is it possible to have an option to force HTTPS and WWW?
 * How can I temporarily add this functionality in a safe way?
 * Thanks!

 * https is force in the .htaccess by the plugin.
 * Normally WordPress will redirect to the URL you have set in settings/general.
   But you can add a custom .htaccess redirect, which will redirect to [https://www](https://www)
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
       ```
