: Google indexing my site with https So I Want to Redirect it over https but Giving 404 I don't know why Google is indexing my wordpress website with https even I have not installed any SSL
I don't know why Google is indexing my wordpress website with https even I have not installed any SSL certificate, it causes matched content etc. Also, I have tried to redirect whole domain to https by installing such plugings and .htaccess file with this following code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/ [R=301,L]
OR
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
but site stop loading except homepage. The homepage is working fine.
my website is tipstricksisland.com but internal links ie. www.tipstricksisland.com/5-tips-to-improve-your-seo-with-help-of-social-media.html are giving 404
when I change the permalink to plain www.tipstricksisland.com/?p=1234 its working great but not in Custom Permalinks.
and I have installed Easy HTTPS (SSL) Redirection Plugin for Wordpress
My .htaccess File
# BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
# END HTTPS Redirection Plugin
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

The reason that Google is indexing and not is because within your WordPress general settings you have your site address, url address or both set to HTTPS. Since your site uses Yoast SEO which handles canonical links the plugin is adding <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.tipstricksisland.com/" /> to your pages which tells Google, Bing and other search engines that they should index this and that.
To correct the issue simply login to the WordPress dashboard and click General Settings then change the URL of both WordPress and URL, see picture below (replace with your URL without the HTTPS).
Then simplify your HTACCESS using something like this:
# REDIRECT SSL TO NON-SSL
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
# ADD WWW to NON-WWW
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Once you have done the above simply view the source of you pages to confirm that HTTPS is now within the canonical links. Then it's a matter of waiting for Google to change the address, this process can take several weeks to take place.
