Hello Ryaan J.,

If you have installed an SSL Certificate on your website and want to redirect your website traffic from http to https using the .htaccess file, you can follow the below steps,

You'll need to add the following code to your .htaccess file for the redirection.
Firstly, If you're looking to redirect a specific domain from HTTP to HTTPS, then add the following line to your .htaccess,

Code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://[URL="http://www.example.com/"]www.example.com[/URL]/$1 [R,L]

Now, If you're looking to redirect a specific folder from HTTP to HTTPS, then add the following line to your .htaccess,

Code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/folder/$1 [R,L]

Lastly, If you're looking to redirect All Web Traffic from HTTP to HTTPS, then add the following line to your .htaccess,

Code:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]

Note: You'll need to replace example.com with your domain name wherever required in the code and set the folder name wherever required.

Thus, I hope the ways mentioned above help you to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS using a .htaccess file without facing any issues.
