This really belongs on ServerFault, StackOverflow or Webmasters… But basically, you need to add something along these lines before the WP rules begin: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I think you are missing some rules in your WP .htaccess file. I show mine below. Notice the rules for wp-admin, add them to your file: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /subcataloged/cliens-wp/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond … Read more

WordPress tries to detect the webserver’s type by peeking into the global $_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’] variable. The Apache check is: $is_apache = (strpos($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘Apache’) !== false || strpos($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘LiteSpeed’) !== false); and the Nginx check is: $is_nginx = (strpos($_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’], ‘nginx’) !== false); You should therefore first check out: var_dump( $_SERVER[‘SERVER_SOFTWARE’] ); to see if it’s correct.

Here are a couple of options: WP htaccess Control – will let you manually edit your .htaccess file All-in-one htaccess Plugin – will let you dynamically create an .htaccess file based on which modules/features you want set up When all else fails, turn to Google …
