Site Internal Links Break When Adding SSL Certificate

    I currently use the latest version of WordPress with the Divi development environment.

    In anticipation of Google’s move to reward sites using SSL for security, I have been attempting to install a wildcard certificate on my web server to enable https:// transactions between the server and the client. We are having an error that I have not been able to solve. When we load the certificate, the front page of the site loads properly, but all internal pages on the site (save the home page) show 404 errors. I am perplex4ed as to why this is happening. I think we are correctly installing the certificate on the server, but the website in WordPress is not responding correctly.

    Any ideas as to why all pages save the home page won’t load with the certificate installed?

    Have you tried adding the following to your .htaccess file?

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

    Don’t forget to replace yoursite.com with your site URL.
