redirecting http to https within wordpress

[mattroot87]

Hi Patrick,

We currently have deployed Project Nami in an Azure Web App. Although we have already set the 'redirect http to https' flag within the Azure Web App service, we have a need to configure the same setting within wordpress itself. We want to try to avoid using a wordpress plugin to do this and would prefere to do it manually. Some of the articles out there say you need to edit the htaccess file which I am pretty sure projectNami doesn't have because its run under IIS(?). Could you point me in the right direction on how you would recommend redirecting http to https within wordpress?

Thanks!

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, I think you are simply looking for the site address settings.

Settings -> General Update the WordPress Address and Site Address values to use https.

Between that and the setting in the App Service, you should be good.
