I’ve recently installed an SLL certificate to two websites currently running your Hide My WP plugin. When I went through the installation of the SSL, I had to disable your plugin first as it caused a whole host of problems when I needed to add in my HTTP to HTTPS rewrite rule in the .htaccess file.
Disabling your plugin allowed me to change from HTTP to HTTPS without any problems. However, when I go to reactivate and setup your plugin after HTTPS is working, it’s overwriting my .htaccess file and subsequently removing my HTTP to HTTPS redirect rule. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this then stop the automatic redirect from anyone visiting my old HTTP website to the new HTTPS site?
How do you suggest we overcome this?
The HTTP to HTTPS rewrite rule I’m using is as follows…
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]
I’ve obviously changed domain.com with the actual website.
