Simple, fast and effective — enforce HTTP URLs to HTTPS using WordPress filters and permanent redirects.

== Description ==

**A simple, fast and effective way to make sure that all HTTP URLs get rewritten / redirected to HTTPS** — including the WordPress upload folder and plugin url paths. Avoids "mixed content" error situations. Simply activate the plugin and you're done. ;-)

The plugin defines the following constants (if not already defined), then makes sure that all HTTP requests are rewritten / redirected to their HTTPS equivalent:

* FORCE_SSL
* FORCE_SSL_ADMIN
* FORCE_SSL_LOGIN

The plugin also hooks the WordPress 'upload_dir' and 'plugins_url' filters to make sure that all URLs match the appropriate protocol.

The plugin checks and honors the following proxy / load-balancing web server variables:

* HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
* HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL

There are no plugin settings — simply install and activate the plugin.

**Requirements**

Your web server must be configured with an SSL certificate and able to handle HTTPS request. ;-)
