We can redirect the non SSL query of your website to SSL port by using .htaccess file in the website’s public folder. If the file is not there, you can simply 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.
