This is what your htaccess should look like (or a variation of this):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Then every piece of traffic will be redirected to https
That is one of the ones I tried and unfortunately it doesn’t work.
I just copied this to my .htaccess file again to be sure and it didn’t make any difference.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Brandon
I have this in my htaccess and it works perfectly.
You might have browser caching issues that you need to look at
Shannon,
I know, it is super frustrating. I have several sites that are fine, but this one is being a pain in the neck.
I know it isn’t a caching problem since I’ve tried it on multiple computers and on Browserstack.
It might be an issue with the server too, I’m not sure.
Thanks,
Brandon

It’s your server. Your using 2 separate web servers for http (nginx) and https (Apache2).
The .htaccess doesn’t work on the nginx that you use for http.
$ curl -I http://blog.epiccosplay.com/
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved
Server: nginx
Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2015 02:45:18 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Content-Length: 98
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://:2083/
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
And your HTTPS version is doing this correctly.
$ curl -I https://blog.epiccosplay.com/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2015 02:46:23 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.29 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.29 OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips mod_bwlimited/1.4

Can you get your host to add this for your nginx config?
location / {
return 301 https://$http_host$request_uri;
}
That goes inside your server section of the config and will redirect to the https version of your site.
Tested right now from Paris (Fiber 500Mb/s), blank page now.
And i confirm, if you’re on Nginx, check all that like Jan Dembowski advises you.
I thought of a wrong SSL certificate, but wrong idea you can do that later, https will work even if not exactly authentified.
I’m more worried about ports for Nginx, default https:// port on server that should be setup for WP and so (Nginx default port: 8080 on http).
Thank you a ton guys. That was exactly the problem. I’m not sure why Nginx was installed on that server, but I disabled it and now the redirect works perfectly.
I did try the code above in the config file, but for some reason it didn’t work.
I definitely appreciate all of the help.
