We can redirect the non-SSL query of your website to an SSL port by using the .htaccess file in the website’s public folder. If the file is not there, you can create it.
1- Create/Open the file .htaccess
2- Add the following redirect rule.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
If your site is in a sub-folder, use this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourdomain.com/folder/$1 [R,L]
Don’t forget to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
