title: force outgoing links as http vs https on secure domain? (htaccess?)
body: <p>I have forced a ecommerce site to be always in https, due to some issues with having only specific urls triggered as secure. I have used the following in my .htaccess</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On 
  RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.vshoen.com/$1 [R,L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But now my problem is all external links without www in the url open in https as well for some reason. Most of the time its not a problem but there are a few specific links that need to simply be <a href="http://url.com" rel="nofollow">http://url.com</a> instead of <a href="http://www.url.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.url.com</a> and for in this case they are not loading as its trying to open them as <a href="https://url.com" rel="nofollow">https://url.com</a> </p>
  
  <p>I was hoping there would be a resolution to this, this is a wordpress site if that makes any difference.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
