WP Ghost and Really Simple SSL

This article will show you how to make WP Ghost compatible with the well-known Really Simple SSL plugin.

WP Ghost works well with most of the Really Simple SSL options. The only option that needs attention is the 301 redirect with .htaccess, which adds the rewrite rules to the .htaccess file after the WP Ghost rules.

To ensure the plugins work well together, save the settings in WP Ghost after you save the options in the Really Simple SSL plugin. This way, the rules are moved to the beginning of the .htaccess file.

# BEGIN rlrssslReallySimpleSSL
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# END rlrssslReallySimpleSSL

Note! If the .htaccess file is not writable, make sure you manually move the Really Simple SSL rewrite rules to the beginning of the .htaccess file and save the file.
