SSL problem

[edsactwo]

I have generated and uploaded a SSL certificate and a private key. My website now loads in secure mode providing the user types
https://name.xyz
If the user types just name.xyz it loads as Not Secure. How do I force secure loading?
I note that there is a .htaccess file already in position. I cannot edit it. The help file says I should create a ,htaccess file in the htdocs folder. I have done this. Below is the beginning of my .htaccess file. It does nothing! What should I do?

---

#to force use of https rather than http

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}


# followed by the contents of the existing .htaccess file

Hello there,

Try using this code instead:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Once you saved your changes make sure to clear your browser cache first before revisiting your website to check if it’s working.

Thank you very much. Clearing the cache helped enormously!
