[Answered] How to force HTTPS throughout my website?

[roguitar]

Hi, there! Howdy, all? This time, my question is related to how I can force https only throughout my website. Well, I've installed my certificates via ZeroSSL, just by following the instructions given by you at: https://wiki.helionet.org/Installing_a_Let%27s_Encrypt_SSL_Certificate

Ok, excellent! It's all working. But even so, I notice that if I type http it still there. What I want is that when a user types http as if it were the default protocol and then presses "enter", he/she is automatically redirected to the https version. That's all, guys. So... How do I do this? Thank you!

Add the following code to your .htaccess file (create new if u don't have one) :

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Alright, but... I believe that I don't have one. How do I create it? Do I just click on create new file and name it .htaccess and then add the code above given by you? Could you give me an example?

Go to the settings in the upper right of cPanel File Manager and enable the "show hidden files (dot files)" option. If you still don't see it, you can just create a new one.

Do as flazepe directed first. However if u still don't find that file then your method is correct.

Where do I create the file? In what folder?
