This step can be optional, but if you have lots of content, then I highly recommend it.

Change your site url to https
Go to the General options page and change your site url to https://…
Force https via .htaccess (optional)
Most likely you don’t need to do this, but in some cases the default http:// site url will not redirect automatically to https://

In this case you need these lines to your .htaccess file:

1

3

# Force HTTPS

RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} '"scheme":"http"'

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourdomain.com/$1 [L]

6. An extra modification to the wp-config.php file

1

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

line (it’s usually around line 90):

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https')

$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

Yep.
