# .htaccess changes – auto WP Updates

 * With the last WP update, 4.4.1, my .htaccess file seems to have got modified.
 * We have had problems with WP saying the “Cart is Empty” when one clicks “Checkout”.
   Seems there is a conflicting problem if someone goes into the cart using http
   instead of https.
 * Our workaround was to add the following code to the .htaccess file:
    RewriteCond%{
   SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteRule (.*) [https://%](https://%){HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}[
   R=301,L]
 * After the 4.4.1 update the .htaccess was the same minus the two lines of code
   above.
 * Is there something in the most recent WP security update that would have modified
   this .htaccess file?

 * …also, this could just be coincidence that I first noticed the problem was back
   after the 4.4.1 update, but thought I would ask.
 * I’m trying to track down when, how & why the .htaccess file got modified.
