I activated SSL prior to installing the Really Simple SSL plugin

Replies: 0

I have several sites with SSL. In WordPress General Settings I had changed both urls to https and added code to my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I thought I had the sites all working correctly with SSL with the green padlock, even in Firefox which was the pickiest of all the browsers I tested, but then yesterday I looked at 2 of my sites and the pages where I had inserted images previous to adding SSL the sites were not showing as secure.

I then installed your Really Simple SSL plugin, activated it and then before clicking your “Go ahead, activate SSL!” button, I checked to see if I was getting the green padlock now and I am.

My question is: Since I already made the changes to my htaccess file and the General Settings in WordPress, should I and/or do I need to activate SSL with your plugin?

Thanks!
