Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP SSL Redirect

No.

No changes are made to file system or the database.

The plugin makes use of $_SERVER array to check either the URL is accessed over HTTPS or HTTP. If the request is made over HTTP, then the plugin sends a 301 redirect header and performs the redirect to the HTTPS version of the same URL. 301 Redirect is Not Working If WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME are hardcoded in your WordPress website's wp-config.php file, then uncomment or delete these two constants, otherwise WP SSL Redirect's 301 redirect may not work properly.
