No setup required! You only need an SSL certificate, and this plugin will do the
rest.

== Description ==
Really Simple SSL automatically detects your settings and configures your website
to run over https.
To keep it lightweight, the options are kept to a minimum. The entire site will
move to SSL.

= Three simple steps for setup: =

* Get an SSL certificate (can't do that for you, sorry).
* Activate this plugin
* Enable SSL with one click

Always backup before you go! If you do not have a sound backup policy, start having
one! See https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/backing-up-your-site/ for our
recommendations.

Really Simple SSL is on [GitHub](https://github.com/rlankhorst/really-simple-ssl)

as well!

= Love Really Simple SSL? =

Hopefully this plugin save you some hours of work. If you want to support the
continuing development of this plugin, you might consider buying the [premium]
(https://www.really-simple-ssl.com/pro/), which includes
some cool features.
= Pro features =
* The mixed content scan, which shows you what you have to do if you don't have the
green lock yet
* The option to enable HTTP Strict Transport Security
* The option to configure your site for the HSTS preload list
* Mixed Content Fixer for the back-end
* More detailed feedback on the configuration page.
* Certificate expiration check: get an email when your SSL certificate is about to
expire.
* Premium support

= What does the plugin actually do =

* The plugin handles most issues that WordPress has with SSL, like when you're
behind a reverse proxy/loadbalancer, or when no headers are passed which WordPress
can use to detect SSL.
* All incoming requests are redirected to https. Default with an internal WordPress
redirect, but you can also enable a .htaccess redirect.
* The site url and home url are changed to https.
* Your insecure content is fixed by replacing all http:// urls with https://,
except hyperlinks to other domains. Dynamically, so no database changes are made
(except for the siteurl and homeurl).

[contact](https://www.really-simple-ssl.com/contact/) me if you have any questions,

issues, or suggestions. Really Simple SSL is developed by [Really Simple Plugins]
(https://www.really-simple-plugins.com).

I can get you added as translation editor to approve the translations.

== Installation ==
To install this plugin:

1. Make a backup!
2. Install your SSL certificate
3. Download the plugin
4. Upload the plugin to the wp-content/plugins directory,
5. Go to “plugins” in your WordPress admin, then click activate.
6. You will now see a notice asking you to enable SSL. Click it and log in again.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Knowledge base =
For more detailed explanations and documentation on redirect loops, deactivating,
mixed content, errors, and so on, please search the [documentation]
(https://www.really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/)

= Does the mixed content fixer make my site slower? =

On a site where the source consists of about 60.000 characters, the delay caused by
the mixed content fixer is about 0.00188 seconds. If this is too much for you, fix
the mixed content manually and deactivate it in the settings.

= Uninstalling Really Simple SSL =

The plugin checks your certificate before enabling, but if, for example, you
migrated the site to a non-ssl environment, you might get locked out of the back-
end.
If you can't deactivate, do not just remove the plugin folder to uninstall! Follow
these [instructions](https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/uninstall-
websitebackend-not-accessible/).

= Mixed content issues =

Most mixed content issues are caused by urls in css or js files.
For detailed instructions on how to find mixed content read this [article]
(https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/how-to-track-down-mixed-content-or-
insecure-content/).

= Redirect loop issues =

If you are experiencing redirect loops on your site, try these [instructions]
(https://really-simple-ssl.com/knowledge-base/my-website-is-in-a-redirect-loop/).

= Is the plugin multisite compatible? =

Yes. There is a dedicated network settings page where you can switch between
network activated SSL and per page SSL. In the dedicated pro for multisite plugin,
you can override all site settings for SSL on the network level, and can activate
and deactivate SSL in the network menu for each site.

prevent the rest api from redirecting to https.

version update

= 2.2.12 =

config fix is needed.

* Added the force SSL option, in cases where SSL could not be detected for some
reason.

accordingly. Fixes some redirect loop issues.
* Added the possibility to disable the auto replace of insecure links
* Added a scan to scan the website for insecure links
* Added detection of in wp-config.php defined siteurl and homeurl, which could
prevent from successful url change.
* Dropped the force ssl option (used when not ssl detected)
* Thanks to Peter Tak, [PTA security](http://www.pta-security.nl/) for mentioning

== Upgrade notice ==
On settings page load, the .htaccess file is no rewritten. If you have made
.htaccess customizations to the RSSSL block and have not blocked the plugin from
editing it, do so before upgrading.
Always back up before any upgrade. Especially .htaccess, wp-config.php and the
plugin folder. This way you can easily roll back.

== Screenshots ==
1. After activation, if SSL was detected, you can enable SSL.
2. View your configuration on the settings page
