.htaccess redirect error on mobile

[rothschild]

So I've been pulling my hair out all day - I made the decision to buy an SSL cert for my blog and the upgrade has gone really well - all content is now switched over.

However....

For some reason on mobile, my htaccess is causing a too many redirect error, this is what I've got...

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Any idea what needs to be changed to get this working?

I think it's got something to do with forcing www but I'm not 100%...

Here's an article that can help. It's caused by WP config fighting with the config in .htaccess: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-error-too-many-redirects-issue-in-wordpress/

Thanks @SmokeTree I'll give that a go.

Update: not sure why but after following the link from @SmokeTree I was still getting the issue. The following code seems to have fixed it though...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Glad you got it sorted. If this is a VPS and you have root/sudo access, it's best to put that in the config file for the vhost rather than .htaccess
