I have recently enabled SSL certificate and I’m tring to use it in my wordpress site. My website’s url is

All plugings are disabled.

I replaced

 define('WP_HOME','http://mywebsite.com');   
 define('WP_SITEURL','http://mywebsite.com');

with:

define('WP_HOME','https://mywebsite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://mywebsite.com');

Here’s what I get in http://www.redirect-checker.org:

301 Moved Permanently https://mywebsite.com/ 301 Moved Permanently
https://mywebsite.com/ 301 Moved Permanently https://mywebsite.com/ 301
Moved Permanently

Problems found: Too many redirects. Please try to reduce your number
of redirects for https://mywebsite.com. Actually you use 19 Redirects.
Ideally you should not use more than 3 Redirects in a redirect chain.
More than 3 redirections will produce unnecessary load on your server
and reduces speed, which ends up in bad user experience.

A simple .txt file is working ok with https. For example:

https://mywebsite.com/license.txt

gives “200 OK” message and page is browsed via https normally.

But trying to browse .index.php (which includes wordpress) is giving “too many redirects” error.

I tried adding redirects to .htacess file but didn’t work. I have read many articles about this issu but haven’t managed to solve it. Can you help me please?
