RewriteEngine On

#none of this seemed to work right or at all:
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?alexandria-project\.com [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} $1 [R=301,NC,L]
#RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ https://(www\.)?alexandria-project\.com http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} $1 [R=301,NC,L]

##this section works for always redirect to ssl:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)?global-dialog\.org [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

RewriteBase /

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 %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

##what the softaculous installer put:
#RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L] 
#RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] 
##what all the guides and tutorials say:
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
