title: website redirections different from .htaccess configuration
body: <p>I have web page created in Wordpress v5.4, Theme Twenty Twelve and just installed SSL certificate.</p>
  
  <p>I want to have such redirection structure (redirection codes in rectangles), to optimize for SEO: </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CORrG.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CORrG.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>but according to Google Chrome Site Inspector I have the follwing one:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/l57Zh.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/l57Zh.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>So the schema is not fully optimized as for two cases there are dwo cascade redirections whereas should be one. </p>
  
  <p>What is weird, current schema doesn't reflect .htaccess file. My .htaccess file looks as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  # END WordPress
  
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, my understanding of the code is that if url is typed in without https://, script rewrites it into version with https:// an nothing else, so there must be another place where other redirections (e.g. with www -> without www) are being made.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked index.php - no redirections. </p>
  
  <p>I also checked additional lines in .htaccess file don't overwrite those "hidden" ones, so if I simply add them I got multiple redirections error in web browser.</p>
  
  <p>Could you please advise me what else should I do to get desired structure of redirections?</p>
