Please redirect my WordPress website to HTTPS so that it can be hosted on Plesk.

Posted on by DomainRooster

If you have a secure certificate (SSL) installed on your WordPress website, you have the ability to automatically redirect site visitors to the encrypted (HTTPS) version of your website. This will ensure that the visitors’ personal information remains private.

Note: After you have installed your SSL certificate, you can make use of one of the many plug-ins that are available for WordPress to automatically redirect your website’s URL. For assistance with WordPress plugins, click here, see wp.org

The manner in which you reroute traffic is determined by the hosting service that you choose.

Installing WordPress on a platform using Plesk or Windows

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
  2. Click Settings and then General.
  3. Change your WordPress URL and Site URL from http://coolexample.com to https://coolexample.com and click Save Changes.
  4. Create a web.config file in your httpdocs folder
  5. Insert the code listed below into your web.config file and save the file.<configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <clear /> <rule name=”Redirect to https” stopProcessing=”true”> <match url=”(.*)” /> <conditions> <add input=”{HTTPS}” pattern=”off” ignoreCase=”true” /> </conditions> <action type=”Redirect” url=”https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}” redirectType=”Permanent” /> </rule> <rule name=”Main Rule” stopProcessing=”true”> <match url=”.*” /> <conditions logicalGrouping=”MatchAll”> <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true” /> <add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true” /> </conditions> <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php/{R:0}” /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration>
