Redirect loops commonly occur when there is a mix of HTTP/HTTPS content instead of all HTTPS/SSL content or all HTTP content or HTTPS URI’s/content is not designated/rewritten correctly. ie HTTP URI’s are redirecting to HTTPS and vice versa.
This forum topic link shows how to add SSL/HTTPS for your entire site: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-ssl-htaccess-code-rewrite-ssl-rewritecond-server_port/#post-7233
If you are only adding SSL/HTTPS for certain parts of your site and other parts of your site are HTTP then I would need to know all the exact specific technical details of what you are trying to do.
Okay, I changed the address first and now I have the blank BPS. I guess I need a new key? Sorry. Just sent email.

Yep, just request a new Activation Key. The Activation Keys are your encrypted domain name including the URI scheme (http/https) and www. / non-www or other subdomain or subdirectory.
Okay, found what I needed in the activation area. Thank you for your help.
Now it was running great with just the change to https://www.utahpac.org
But as soon as I finished the
“1. Copy this .htaccess code below to this BPS Root Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE WP REWRITE LOOP START: Add www to non-www/non-www to www code here
Note: If your WordPress installation is in a subfolder then add the correct RewriteBase for your particular website/WordPress installation folder name.
If your WordPress installation is in a folder named “my-site”: example.com/my-site/
Your RewriteBase would be: RewriteBase /my-site/
# WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
2. Click the Save Root Custom Code button.
3. Go to the Security Modes page and click the Create secure.htaccess File AutoMagic button.
4. Activate Root Folder BulletProof Mode.”
I only get “Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”

I do not see that this site has a valid SSL Certificate, but that may be because of the redirect loop or because the SSL Certificate is not setup correctly.
Looks like you are using the 90 day free trial Comodo SSL Certificate
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.utahpac.org
Are you planning on making the entire website SSL/HTTPS or only parts of the website SSL/HTTPS?
Are you using anything else that is handling SSL/HTTPS? another plugin? something at the host control panel level?
Remove/delete the SSL/HTTPS Rewrite htaccess code and let me know when that is done so I can recheck the site.
Okay I #### all the rewrite code in the current htaccess and that finally did it.
I also updated my ssl certs……so it looks like I have an all green chain now.
Is BPS still working top notch or what adjustments?

I checked the site:
The SSL certificate is valid and setup correctly.
The site is correctly rewriting to HTTPS.
You have several HTTP links that need to changed to HTTPS: your footer links and links on your home page.
What code did you comment out with # signs?
I followed your directions about deleting the custom code part, saved it, hit “create secure.htaccess file” button. went to htaccess file editor and deleted
WP REWRITE LOOP START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
from secure.htaccess
then placed # at “Your Current Root htaccess File”:
# CUSTOM CODE WP REWRITE LOOP START - Your Custom htaccess code will be created here with AutoMagic
# WP REWRITE LOOP START
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80
#RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
#RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
then the site ran perfect. Noticed in the certificate there was a break in the chain of trust per your preferences https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.utahpac.org
so then read about combining the different certificate keys provided and now that seems to be great now.
Thank you for your help. I was tempted to just uninstall BPS Pro, but it feels good knowing I have your code and SSL working. I host on Cloudways and they did help some, but it was you who followed this to the end. So thank you again.
