Confused regarding forcing HTTPS / SSL

Hi,
I'm struggling to find a clear answer regarding forcing HTTPS.
Navigating my site is fine - everything is HTTPS. However, if I just use example.com or http://www.example.com in the address bar the site will load insecurely.
Should i be forwarding those addresses via my domain name or hosting, or is it something in Wordpress? My domain name and site hosting are with different companies.
Hi there,
You need to set up 301 redirects on your server to redirect non-https to https. The same should be done for non-www to www (or vice versa).
You should be able to ask your hosting support to help you with this.
Thanks Tom
No problem :)
