 * This plugin stopped working only on the main page. I had to go to a different
   plugin. I don’t know what the problem is. It still works in the other site. The
   site it stopped working on has varnish cache, not sure if this is the problem
   or not.

 * Hi Smith,
 * Did you resolve your problem already? You could also create a SSL force without
   a plug-in. You have only creat a .htaccess file in your website.
 * Install a SSL certificate at your server. I think you have this done already.
   
   Create a .htaccess in your root file of WordPress (like domain.com/.htacces).
   Put the next code into it:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.*)
   [https://%](https://%){SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.
   php [L] # END WordPress
 * Change your url in the general settings from [http://(www)](http://(www)).domain.
   com to http**s**(www).domain.com

 * Michael, the plugin already uses WordPress functions to do that, and nothing 
   more. Read the description why it is not using htaccess, or read the code to 
   see for yourself.

 * [@michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michael/):
 * We have a wildcard SSL certificate so anything.domain.com is secured. However,
   when I enter [https://domain.com](https://domain.com) the browser throws an error
   because WC certificates don’t cover the //domain.
 * Usually I would send the request to [https://www.domain.com](https://www.domain.com)
   via .htacces but it’s now not working anymore.
 * Could this be related to the order in wich the redirect happens? I think now 
   it goes to https first (throwing the error) and then it doesn’t proceed with 
   the //domain to //www.domain redirect.
 * I may be completely wrong though.
