After your SSL certificate is installed on your Linux Hosting account, there are some modifications you’ll need to make to your .htaccess file to automatically redirect your visitors to an HTTPS version of your WordPress website.

 Note: These instructions don’t apply to Managed WordPress accounts with an SSL certificate. We’ll take care of the HTTPS redirect automatically (after the certificate installation is complete).

1. Log into your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Hover over Settings on the left navigation panel, then select General.
3. Locate the following fields on the new page:
   • WordPress Address (URL)
   • Site Address (URL)
4. In each field, update your URLs to include https instead of http.

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Save Changes.
6. Open your current .htaccess file in the /public_html/ folder with the cPanel file manager for editing. If you don’t see your .htaccess file, make sure you can view hidden files. If you don’t already have a .htaccess file, you’ll need to create one.
7. Insert the following code at the top of your .htaccess file:
8. Select Save Changes at the top-right corner of the screen.
