Hello,

I believe that your Wordpress site and home URLs are currently set to http://yourdomain.com rather than https://yourdomain.com. That’s why when you add the https redirect you get a redirect loop.

You can change your Site and Home URLs via your Wordpress admin area -> Go to Settings -> General screen in a single site installation of WordPress, there are two fields named “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)”.

As always, make sure to create a backup before making any changes.

Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
