 * Hi,
 * All 4 versions of my website domain name redirect well to `https://www`
 * 4 versions:
 * _[ Multiple links deleted ]_
 * However pages don’t if they start with `http://` or `http://www`
    They should
   redirect to `https://www` as well.
 * Examples:
 * _[ Also deleted ]_
 * I don’t use redirect plugins, just .htaccess file. Can you tell me how to fix
   this please? My .htaccess file is below.
 * Thanks
 *     ```

 * [@redhalls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redhalls/) When you post that
   many links like that, you blow out our spam filter. Because that looks _AMAZINGLY_
   spammy. That is not necessary, don’t repeat that please, OK?
 * _*Drinks coffee*_
 * WordPress does not do multiple sites using the WordPress installation. It breaks
   many things. Have one version of your site only and 301 all the rest to the real
   website. Put that above all other .htaccess rules like so.
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC,OR]
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example\.com [NC]
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example\.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
       </ifModule>
       ```
   
 * Replace `example\.com` with the old other sites. Replace `example\.net` with 
   the real site you want to keep.

 * Hi,
 * Not sure I understand you well, because it did not work.
 * These still don’t redirect to https version, if I include a page after the .com
   e.g. /askjack/
 * `http://www.`
    `http://`
 * This is the new .htaccess file.
 *     ```
