#RewriteEngine On #RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mrtownhome.net [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mrtownhome.net/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

How it should be setup really depends on what you’re trying to do :-).
In the example you’ve posted, RewriteEngine On exists three times. Keep it at the top of the file and remove the other two instances of that line.
That should leave us with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mrtownhome.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mrtownhome.net/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUESTFILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUESTFILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
With that, is this particular instance behind a proxy? I’m asking due to the second line. If so, then you may very well need a bit of code in wp-config.php to handle this instead of .htaccess.
What is it that isn’t working?
It seems like your domain is pointing to different locations. www.mrtownhome.net to InMotion Hosting mrtownhome.net to CloudWays on DigitalOcean
And you’re running both Nginx and Apache - as far as I can tell, which adds extra configuration overhead, which might be more difficult to setup correctly.
See www.mrtownhome.net as well, as it shows my WordPress directories.
