I can activate the ssl cert but I can’t seem to redirect wordpress to https properly. I have tried with .htaccess > no luck, I tried with a https redirect in a virtual host (sites-availible) still no luck… Any takers?

Make sure mod_rewrite is enabled: (“sudo a2enmod rewrite && sudo service apache2 restart”) <br> <br>Try this in your .htaccess file: <br> <br>RewriteEngine On <br>RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off <br>RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} <br> <br>Also make sure AllowOverride is set to All in your virtualhost config.
I solved my ssl issue by copying the working http block settings into the https server block and all is well now, thx again
