: Always redirecting to https without www I have a website and have recently installed an SSL certificate. I want all links to the site to always redirect to the secure site without www, as

@Annie201

I realized that it does not yet redirect the non-www site under the HTTPS protocol. It does however work fine under the HTTP protocol. Here is an extract of my complete .htaccess file:

RewriteOptions inherit

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) %1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) %1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#RewriteCond !^example.com/clients/bestuur #RewriteCond ^example.com/clients$ #RewriteRule example.com/client-portal [R=301,L]

You could also take the approach of multiple rewrite rules. Replace example.com with your actual domain name.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# HTTPS is off!
# Redirect to the secure canonical URL
RewriteRule (.*) example.com/ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example.com$ [NC]
# Host name is not correct!
# (maybe it has a www?)
# Redirect to the secure canonical URL
RewriteRule (.*) example.com/ [L,R=301]


As for the succeedonline.co.za/whmcs redirect, you can use a single simple rewrite rule for that:

RewriteRule ^whmcs$ example.com/client-portal [L,R=301]


The ^ means "starts with" and the $ means "ends with", so that redirect will only get triggered when the URL is exactly succeedonline.co.za/whmcs and not when it is succeedonline.co.za/whmcs/admin.

Not sure if this would encompass your goal completely, but this would turn http www mode into https non-www mode:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.com/ [R=301,L]


Then to redirect the whmcs to a new url, you can probably use a simple 301:
Redirect 301 /whmcs /client-portal

These would both go into the root of your app, or optionally at the place where an A record is picked up.
