SSL http to https forced redirect

Posted at centminmod.com/nginx_domain_dns_setup.html#httpsredirect

key to testing is using 302 temp redirect first in a private incognito browser session otherwise the problems you can experience may end up being due to browser caching or 301 permanent redirects unless you clear browser cache and reboot local computer(s) and even then some web browsers don't let go of 301 permanent redirect browser cache that willingly heh

 

ah ha !

 

still work in progress - updated post at SSL - Letsencrypt Free SSL certificates with web root authentication method with latest tests for dns, mx and top level domain detection routines

 

that should work, or you can leave individual http and https vhost conf files and just add to wp-config.php

Code:

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

or both

 

yeah and make sure all wp related settings are replicated in both http and https vhost conf files, just in http one add the redirect to https

that's essentially what i did for phpmyadmin addon installer's https redirect
