If you have a SSL certificate installed on your domain and you would like to force your website visitors over to your SSL (HTTPS) to secure connections to your site, you can use the following code in your .htaccess file (Linux).
This will force all visitors to your website via the secure URL over https. Be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name. If you do not wish for the www. to be included, remove the www. from the .htaccess rules below.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
Finally, if you want to force just a folder over to https, you can use the following rewrite rule. Be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} folder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/folder/$1 [R,L]
