You can do it through `.htaccess` or through using a plugin, or in Cloudflare settingss (if that’s what you are using for SSL) * Ideally, you just want to make sure that if someone visits `http://www.stijnspreekt. nl` they will automatically be redirected to your `https://` domain * This is a plugin that seems to do the job. I can’t tell for sure as I don’t use it. * [Https Redirection](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) * You need to read up on it a little bit. - This reply was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/). * Thread Starter [ClaitonLord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claitonlord/) * (@claitonlord) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/home-button-still-links-to-http-version-instead-of-https/#post-8519711) * mmm ok ok. The problem is, i have already 20 plugins active right now. Is that a lot or? I dont wanna have to many plugins, because people say it can slow down your website. * Let me check the plugin! * [j09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j09/) * (@j09) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/home-button-still-links-to-http-version-instead-of-https/#post-8519724) * You actually don’t need to use any plugins if you don’t mind writing the redirect rules manually in the `.htaccess` file * **(Be Very Careful! and make backups before you do anything)** * Thread Starter [ClaitonLord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claitonlord/) * (@claitonlord) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/home-button-still-links-to-http-version-instead-of-https/#post-8519768) * Ok thats sounds good.
