I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me as I'm slowly losing my mind trying to get a rewrite rule working in HTAccess.
All I need is for 3 things to happen.
1) All www. traffic should go to non-www.
2) All non-https traffic should go to https.
3) All URLs should be preserved through these rewrites.
I've tried countless different examples online (and my own bastardised variations on them) without achieving the results I'm after. The site uses Joomla, so there's a fair amount of crap that Joomla includes as standard, but I'm pretty sure none of that is interfering with it.
With the current HTAccess the 'www.' is being dropped and the user is forced to https, but the URL is being lost.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
My HTAccess file is here:
