 * Hi there – please note I appreciate if this isn’t the right forum and you need
   to move the post. Thanks!
 * Important note: I am not a developer, so would really appreciate any suggestions
   that are written in a way that a layperson can follow. Thanks in advance.
 * I have my SSL certificate and tested it. But I am struggling immensely with how
   to force the site to show as https.
 * It’s loading as not secure on Chrome, but loads perfectly as https on Internet
   Explorer. I have my .com domain set up to redirect everything to my .ca site.
   I’m assuming the problem is somehow Chrome-related, but like I said, I’m struggling
   through this all as a layperson, and have no idea what kinds of issues related
   to Chrome would cause this.
 * Things I’ve tried:
 *  – Clearing my cache.
    – Really Simple SSL Plugin: gave me an error message. 
   Deactivated the plugin. – I have made changes in General>Settings on my dashboard
   to from http to https. – Followed the instructions here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-permalinks-from-http-to-https-as-well-as-wp-address/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-permalinks-from-http-to-https-as-well-as-wp-address/).
   I checked in phpmyadmin and wpconfig, nothing there. – And then did this: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database)–
   Have tried changing themes to see if it’s a theme problem, but it doesn’t make
   a difference.
 * I am really at a loss, I’ve burned hours on trying to figure this out myself,
   but I’m really really stuck and would so appreciate some help. I don’t understand
   coding, but I can follow clear instructions carefully and am comfortable with
   going into my cpanel.
 * Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

 * Hi
    Can you check on your chrome console, and post here if you see any error.
   If you have mix content (http and https mix together) then it won’t show all 
   the way green secure icon.
 * Simple SSL there’s a bar you can’t click “force SSL”
    Let me know if you have
   more questions. Thanks

 * Hi [@madebymt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madebymt/),
 * Thanks for your reply, but I don’t quite understand.
 *  – What do you mean by checking my chrome console?
    – How do I check for mixed
   content? – I don’t understand what you mean about clicking to force SSL?
 * Thank you,
 * Malumir R.

 * Hi all, in case it’s helpful, here’s what ended up working:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /
 * # RewriteCond %{HTTP:HTTPS} !on
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on RewriteRule .* [https://%](https://%){
   HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
 * RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
