  • Does what it says it does!

    So I was using Really Simple SSL, which is nice because it has more onsite features, but I NEEDED this plugin to force www to non www and it handles the SSL so, I was able to deactivate the redirection features of Really Simple SSL and just use WP SSL Redirect. This was great, because that meant I didn't have to edit my .htaccess and risk it being overwritten later by a plugin or by saving the permalinks settings or something unknown to me.

  • Automatic redirecting issue

    After I deactivated this plugin I couldn't use WordPress, I can not sign in again because it is automatically redirecting to another page that is not related to my WordPress site, on the other hand I asked the author to help me to remove codes or database tables but he did not answer my questions.

  • Perfect to Force non-WWW 301 Redirects

    Exactly what I was looking for: a dead-simple way to force 301 redirects to my non-www page without having to edit my .htaccess file myself. Nice work.

    I was struggling to apply the redirect using htaccess file and WP SSL Redirect saved my day. Thanks for the devs' efforts.
