Force none WWW and HTTPS

I have a bit of an odd problem. My rewrite rules appear to work just as I would expect, but not for sub-pages.

www to none www always works, but forcing https does not work on some pages.

All rules do work however on the home page, so that's all good.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Wordpress related rewrite.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# www and https rules.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Results:

  1. http://example.com -> https://example.com (good)
  2. http://www.example.com -> https://example.com (good)
  3. https://example.com -> https://example.com (good)
  4. https://www.example.com -> https://example.com (good)

However, sub-pages do not appear to be working correctly:

  1. https://example.com/page -> https://example.com/page (good)
  2. https://www.example.com/page -> https://example.com/page (good)
  3. http://example.com/page -> http://example.com/page (bad)
  4. http://www.example.com/page -> http://example.com/page (bad)

Any idea how I can improve this rewrite to work with no www and https regardless of my location?

Thanks

Replace your rules with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# remove www and turn on https in single rule
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Ordering is important so you must keep redirect rule before WP default rules. Also make sure to clear browser cache when testing this change.

In your www and https rules. block you redirect to HTTP:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

As you want to always redirect to HTTPS, make it redirect to HTTPS as well:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
