WordPress keeps redirecting subpages without http to https homepage after switch

You’ve put the HTTP to HTTPS (and canonical www) redirect in the wrong place. It should go before the WordPress front-controller. In fact, it should go before the # BEGIN WordPress section to avoid any chance of it being overwritten by WordPress in future updates.

To be honest, I’m a bit surprised that redirect would actually do anything (except for requests to static resources)? (Maybe you are seeing a cached redirect, or maybe WP itself is later redirecting to the home page?)

For example:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

That redirect should ultimately be a 301 (permanent) redirect. So change R to R=301 once you have confirmed it’s working OK.
